Abstract

For many years, telemedicine has been utilized to give treatment, education, and training, particularly to healthcare workers in remote places and nations with low resources. However, during the SARS COVID-19 pandemic, when the lockdown necessitated the use of technology more than ever, telemedicine came to popularity.Tele-education is a subset of Telemedicine that has aided millions in continuing their education over the previous two years. Photographs, audio, video, or a combination of these are the most common telemedicine formats, and they can be captured with portable cameras, mobile phones, or computers. Tele-education offers tools and approaches for improving teaching. Frequent updates and introduction of newer technologies are required to make Tele-education better, more cost effective, and user friendly, especially now that we anticipate future Pandemic wave surges. In this study, we share our experience of using Panoramic view, which can take wide angle images, in our daily clinical practice (ward, OPD, dressing room, operation theatre) and in Tele- Education. The study is unique in that there is relatively little information on the use of wide-angle lenses in clinical practise and Tele education.
