Abstract
Information and communication technology (ICT) has enabled telemedicine to become an effective model for healthcare delivery. Patients have been networked irrespective of their location for remote monitoring and timely diagnosis with this technology. This article elaborates on our telemedicine experiences, methodologies adopted and highlights the various design aspects to be considered for making telemedicine effective. An important aspect that emerged from our study was that this technology can be utilized as an excellent screening tool for patients at remote centers and undertake preventive measures for potential patients at risk of cardiovascular disease.
