Abstract
Over the past few years, the field of information and communication technologies (ICT) has experienced remarkable advancements that have brought about significant revolutions in various aspects of public life. One notable area that has been greatly influenced by these advancements is telemedicine. Telemedicine has had a profound impact on interpersonal relationships and the supply of medical services in both developed areas and remote.
What sets telemedicine apart from traditional hospital healthcare is its ability to bridge the gap between doctors and patients without the need for physical proximity. However, the implementation of telemedicine in different countries requires the establishment of specific laws and regulations to address its unique nature. Unlike traditional healthcare, telemedicine presents complex legal challenges that need to be carefully discussed, resolved, and further evolved.
The first chapter of this study delves deep into the nature of telemedicine technology, and it is divided into two sections. The initial section explores the conceptual and historical development of telemedicine, shedding light on its evolution over time. The latter section focuses on the stakeholders involved in telemedicine, emphasizing their significance and highlighting the limitations of this technology.
Moving on to the second chapter, titled "Legal Framework for Telemedicine Technology," consists of three parts. The first part takes an in-depth look at the requirements and obligations that come with practicing telemedicine. The second part delves into the nature of medical liability within the realm of telemedicine, addressing the legal implications that arise. Finally, the third part analyzes the legal system that governs telemedicine, with specific attention given to its applications and the various fields in which this technology is utilized.
