Usage in Medicine
In medicine, remote guidance is often used to provide medical advice or instructions to patients who are unable to visit a healthcare facility due to distance, mobility issues, or other constraints. This can include providing advice on managing chronic conditions, prescribing medication, or providing instructions for self-care. Remote guidance can also be used to provide support and training to healthcare professionals in remote or underserved areas.
Remote guidance is a key component of telemedicine, and is increasingly being used to improve access to healthcare services, particularly in rural and underserved areas. It can also help to reduce healthcare costs by reducing the need for hospital visits and admissions.
