Telemedicine is a very useful tool and resource for medical diagnosis and treatment. Since its inception in the 70s it has developed progressively, demonstrating the clinical benefit it brings to patients and being increasingly present in the daily activities of clinicians. Different studies have tried to define and limit its effectiveness at the time of application versus face-to-face assistance, this being an important variable to clarify. This article reviews the different variables that have been coined to define the effectiveness when trying to demonstrate the cost-effectiveness of including telemedicine in daily healthcare activity.
