Onkar S Kemkar; Dr P B Dahikar

The convergence of the information and communication technology (ICT) has produced many exciting possibilities for developing new services in medical field for the citizens. On the other hand, the industrial countries have a challenge to offer more comprehensive health care services for their population without increasing the costs. It is not a surprise that ICT is considered as a potential solution for distributing health care services for the rural areas. This potential has created a large amount of research and development projects in the area of telemedicine around the world. In this paper, we present a concrete business case of telemedicine, where the need of service, technology and economical facts meet each other. The available technology is suitably modified and used for experimentation. The experiment is found to be economically feasible and will provide medical help to needy anywhere, anytime.
