The only thing that remains constant in the world of technology is the fact that technology is constantly evolving and nothing at all can stop whatever is going on within this process whether it’s for the good or bad. And the biggest effect of technology can be felt in the medical industry. Gone are the days when the physical presence of the doctor was required at the patient’s place or the presence of the patient required at the doctor’s. Technology has bridged the gap of physical presence and has brought in something known as video telemedicine that help doctors treat their patients with the help of technological tools and the internet. Doctors can now treat their patients who might be located in remote locations over a video call or some other similar technology that has been developed and at the same time is undergoing rapid transformation, every second of every day.
