Telemedicine has emerged as a transformative solution in healthcare, leveraging technology to bridge gaps in access, especially in remote and underserved regions. This article explores the advances in telemedicine, focusing on innovations in digital health tools, teleconsultations, remote diagnostics, and the integration of artificial intelligence (AI). By examining the benefits, challenges, and future potential of telemedicine, this article highlights how these technologies are improving patient outcomes, reducing healthcare disparities, and contributing to a more equitable and efficient healthcare system. The discussion extends to regulatory frameworks, patient acceptance, and the role of telemedicine during global health crises, particularly the COVID-19 pandemic. Finally, the article explores the implications of telemedicine on future healthcare delivery models.
