      <abstract>
        <p>The author shares his experience of designing and deploying Clinical Telemedicine Systems for Virtual Disease Management in this article, taking the readers through the anatomy and functioning of such way of remote care.</p>
        <p>Telemedicine is a growing and important field in the medical industry. It allows doctors to consult with patients remotely, using video conferencing, phone calls, and other digital tools. This means patients can get the necessary care without travelling to see a doctor. Telemedicine can be used for various purposes, but disease management is one of the most important. The author believes that Virtualisation of the Clinical Work Flow is needed to make efficient Remote Disease Management, whether it's Tele-homecare or Outpatient consultations.</p>
