In addition, a historical outline is included, starting with the origin of telemedicine in the world, through examples of its use in other European countries and ending with a description of the beginning of its development in Poland. This article also contains data concerning the introduction of solutions related to it in the field of medicine, as well as its evaluation by people using this form of health services, mainly patients and their families. Furthermore, it is shown what benefits, among others in financial terms, the use of telemedicine technology brings.
