Telemedicine is no longer in the realm of the future. It has already become an aspect of modern medicine. A number of countries across the world have successfully introduced telemedicine systems, which allows patients access to general healthcare and specialist consultations regardless of the distance separating patients from physicians. We aimed to evaluate the use of a telemedicine system by Polish-speaking women for the purpose of gynecological and obstetric consultations.
