Not only do advanced medical practices help patients heal correctly; new technology has also improved research so professionals can make healthcare even more efficient. Through technology doctors are easier to reach and better at their job. Technology has allowed doctors to access e-mail, texts, videos, and conference capabilities to confer with colleagues from all over the world. This practice, referred to as telemedicine, is specifically useful for doctors and patients in rural and under-developed areas.
