In a telemedicine system, a patient is geographically removed from the presence of a doctor or other healthcare provider. For example, the patient could be at home instead of on site at a healthcare facility. Telemedical devices enable the healthcare provider to monitor the health status of a patient and potentially diagnose and treat some medical problems without the need for the patient to travel to the healthcare facility. The use of telemedical systems has the potential to reduce the cost of healthcare, and to improve the quality of healthcare through increased patient monitoring. Various known telemedicine systems provide a device to a patient that enables the patient to transmit medical data to a doctor or healthcare provider. Some devices are configured to record biosignals, such as heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration rates, and transmit data of the recorded biosignals to a database for later review. 1, record 2, English, - biosignal

Patients can also be able to facilitate teleconferencing and/or connect with the healthcare provider through e-mail, text messages, chat sessions, or voice messages. Data can be transmitted through the patient's home computer and routed across the secured virtual private network. Such transmissions may be communicated to the provider of the telehealth platform, which, in turn, needs to send the messaging to the healthcare organization. This process brings together the patient and healthcare provider, enabling the delivery of the necessary healthcare services to the comfort of the patient's home.... The telehealth platform is a system that allows data communications to flow from the patient's home monitoring facility to the clinician's office monitoring facility. This platform will provide virtual private network and cloud-based audio, video and data communications, telemetry data transfer protocols, video and audio-conferencing systems, secure e-mail and secure text messaging, and internet-working facilities. 1, record 3, English, - telehealth%20platform
