Can a doctor also help a patient via the computer?

When a person is sick, he or she goes to the doctor.

But sometimes the doctor is far away.

Then the doctor could talk to the patient on the computer.

This is called telemedicine.

We want to find out:

• Can a doctor give good advice to patients on the computer?
   
• What equipment does the doctor need for telemedicine?

• What is improtant for doctors and patients when they use telemedicine?

In standard language, the project is called: Status quo and perspectives of telemedicine
