8 Research Overview Telemedicine Overview Telemedicine is defined as the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) to deliver healthcare services from a distance. Information transmitted can be utilised by healthcare professionals for patient diagnosis, treatment and monitoring, and also continuing education. Telemedicine (TM) has applications in a number of clinical settings that include primary healthcare and emergency care facilities. Telemedicine is basically of two types: synchronous and asynchronous. Asynchronous transfer is based on a store-andforward concept. Information is first obtained and saved. It is forwarded to the doctor or specialist only when required. Synchronous transfer is real-time, which relays images and clinical information to the doctor as it is received. It can take the form of video conferencing.

9 Research Overview (Contd ) ICT Overview in Sub-Saharan Africa Telemedicine involves the exchange of information between a main hospital and satellite clinics, and such an exchange requires a channel or network through which transmission is possible. Telemedicine Market: ICT Infrastructure (Sub-Saharan Africa), 2010 Therefore, the rapid development of telecommunication networks has been a key driver of telemedicine development in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Large parts of Africa gained access to international fibre bandwidth for the first time via submarine cables in 2009 and More cables are expected to go online in Africa s internet and broadband sector is set to benefit the most from these developments. Alongside the increased liberalisation of the telecom sector in many African countries, these advances will lead to a substantial decline in the prices of internet bandwidth.

11 Research Overview (Contd ) Telemedicine Trends and Challenges Telemedicine growth in SSA is mainly affected by connectivity issues, poor affordability, and a lack of integration with existing health delivery systems, which have resulted in resistance from doctors. As telecommunication infrastructure improves, transmission costs are expected to decline in the future. This trend is poised to increase the affordability of telemedicine systems. Telemedicine Market: Growth Trends and Industry Challenges (South Africa), MARKET GROWTH TRENDS Enabling telecommunications environment Inequities between rural and urban access to healthcare Greater private sector participation, and PPPs Telemedicine integration with primary healthcare INDUSTY CHALLENGES Lack of infrastructure, especially in rural areas High set-up and operating costs Lack of knowledge and buy-in from end-users Regulatory barriers Competing health priorities Source: Frost & Sullivan 13
