Abstract
Telemedicine tools enable the communication and sharing of medical information in electronic form and thus facilitate access to remote expertise and knowledge. A physician located far from a reference center can consult his colleagues remotely in order to solve a difficult case, follow a continuing education course over the Internet to improve his knowledge, or access medical information from digital libraries. These same tools can also be used to facilitate the exchange between centers of medical expertise at a national or international level and have been performed many times. The purpose of this chapter is report the use of telemedicine and tele-monitoring in the context of intensive care, lung disease, and non-invasive ventilation.
