| Abstract | Background: Telemedicine is considered a remote diagnosis and treatment of patients using telecommunication. Objectives: This study aimed to share the experience of using telemedicine in selected military medical centers. Methods: Telemedicine includes medical practice and information and communication technology. It has proven to be very effective for telehealth care, especially in areas with poor health facilities. However, the implementation of these technologies is often hampered by various issues. However, due to the spread of military personnel in the vastness of Iran's geography and the need to handle and receive medical care and treatment, telemedicine has been considered for more than a hundred centers since 2019. Results: Telemedicine provides various types of health care services, such as psychological consultations, educational services, health care delivery and management, disease screening, and disaster management services across selected military medical centers. Conclusions: Although telemedicine cannot be a solution to all problems, it can certainly go a long way in reducing the burden on the health care system through safe and effective communication. | en |
