Also in some cases the tele-ICU has been used for the emergency and critical patients. In this process the patients will connect to the group of consultants or doctors to take instant medications. But when we look 5 years back this facility is not much advanced.

Virtual visits are nothing but the connecting the doctors for treatment without physically present to the doctors place or healthcare industry.
