Limitations of Telemedicine

Just like most technology has its own limitations, Telemedicine also has its own limitations.

Telemedicine will definitely deprive doctors of the delicate cues they often pick up when seeing a patient in person. With telemedicine a doctor will not be able to auscultate, inspect and feel of the body of the patient. Even if telemedicine can do this, it can not be compared with seeing the patient in person. This is one major limitation of telemedicine.
