Dr. Curtis Cripe: The Advantages of Telemedicine.
Dr. Curtis Cripe and the NTL Group believe that medicine and technology are two sides of the same coin. Over the past decade, medical technologies have advanced at an astonishing rate, changing how we approach healthcare. With the help of these technologies, doctors and medical professionals can provide more accurate diagnoses and better treatments and improve overall patient outcomes.
Dr. Curtis Cripe has been at the forefront of this technological revolution, and he's been writing about it for years to give people a clearer understanding of what these technologies mean for the future of medicine. From artificial intelligence to virtual reality, the potential applications of these technologies are limitless, and it's exciting to see where they'll take us in the coming years.
Today, Dr. Curtis Cripe looks back at and reviews one of the biggest technological developments in research and healthcare – telemedicine.
Telemedicine was conceptualized over half a century ago. It has now become a reality. It provides a way to treat patients in far-flung areas with minimal healthcare or medical professionals access. Advancements and technological breakthroughs have helped telemedicine evolve, where people can virtually see doctors and vice-versa. Doctors can see patients from just about anywhere in the world – as long as there's an internet connection.
According to Dr. Curtis Cripe, telemedicine has not only allowed access from doctors to patients, but in recent years, drones have been able to send medication to places that motor vehicles would otherwise not reach. These drones play a significant role, especially during emergencies with volatile circumstances. They keep medical workers safe while ensuring quick treatment.

Speaking of emergencies, Dr. Curtis Cripe also mentions that telemedicine has drastically cut the time patients with urgent medical conditions receive anything they need, from medicine to consultations.
On a final note, amazingly, but not surprisingly, telemedicine has impacted industries other than healthcare. Dr. Curtis Cripe says that sports are the perfect example of this, as physicians get to almost immediately address injuries when athletes get into accidents while training or competing.
Dr. Curtis Cripe has a diverse multidisciplinary professional and academic background behind him, having worked in aerospace, engineering, software development, bioengineering, addiction recovery, psychophysiology, psychology, and child neurodevelopment.
