The basic definition of telemedicine is the one that corresponds to its etymology: this is how the provision of medical services at a distance is defined (from the Greek “tele”, distance, and medicine). This definition is broader than it seems since it encompasses traditional technologies that would also be telemedicine, such as the warning bells of the arrival of lepers or requests for health resources and medicines by cable telegraph during the American Civil War.
