By Huseyn Valiyev –   Trend:

Azerbaijan will launch a telemedicine (remote diagnosis and treatment of patients by means of telecommunications technology) project by late 2016, a source close to the project told Trend Aug. 25.

According to the source, the project envisages the use of special devices to conduct medical examination.

An innovative approach is intended for the patients having no opportunity to travel abroad for medical examination, the source said.

According to the source, for this purpose, a patient must appeal to a specialist, who will act as a mediator between a patient and a doctor in other country.

It will be possible to save time, reduce costs and avoid hospitalization due to an opportunity of getting specialized medical care, the source said.
