**2.1 Telemedicine for patients**

Medical treatment is provided to patients by the physician in charge. A patient at home interacts with the physician in charge located in a remote medical facility through the video telephone system. Simultaneously, based on the transmitted information, the physician in charge determines the physical and mental condition of the patient and the patient's medical treatment. This type of telemedicine is sometimes referred to as "telecare." "Telenursing" is an example of this type, where a nurse performs a key role and aids patients in home care.
