Abstract

Telemedicine services are primarily held by large corporations and government agencies. The majority of healthcare providers are now keeping records in order to give services to their patients in the future and to take preventive care. In recent years, communication has become increasingly vital in the delivery of healthcare services. Most healthcare providers are currently experimenting with and integrating the fifth generation (5G) of network and other cutting-edge technologies for communication and on-demand service delivery. India’s rapidly expanding healthcare services necessitated the use of an intelligent telemedicine services system (ITSS) by hospitals, clinics, and everyday practitioners, which will limit healthcare workers’ exposure to suspected viruses, improve reachability, and save time. The Internet of Things (IoT) plays a major role in remote health monitoring, which is effective for patients and service providers. Patients’ health can be monitored regularly and the doctor can supervise their patients remotely on the basis of previous medical records. In this chapter, we will learn about the infrastructure of telemedicine services and remote health monitoring.
