ABSTRACT

Telecommunications technology has evolved considerably in the last few years achieving communication in real time between two or more communities located in different parts of the world. This communication occurs through written messages or the transmission of voice and video. This achievement in telecommunications represents huge benefits in different areas, such as medicine since it is possible to exchange data for reaching diagnoses, giving presentations, conducting and participating in interactive panel discussions, as well as the training of qualified human resources. This article reviews the telecommunication technologies currently available for the practice of medicine, particularly those involving mobile telephones with the purpose of promoting its application for improving the quality of medical care.
