Telehealth vs Telemedicine

Slide Content

The PowerPoint slide compares "Telehealth" and "Telemedicine" within the broader context of health and medicine. Telemedicine is described as having a curative approach, which typically involves directly caring for diseases and the patient's immediate health needs. In contrast, Telehealth encompasses not only curative aspects but also preventive and promotive efforts, suggesting a more comprehensive approach to overall health and wellness.

Graphical Look

• The slide features a central graphic with two overlapping circles in shades of green and purple.
• Inside the circles are icons representing different aspects of telemedicine and telehealth.
• The telemedicine icons include a laptop with medical imagery and a hand symbol indicating interaction or control.
• The telehealth icons expand this to include a heart symbol representing health, a figure with a plus sign showcasing prevention, and an upwards arrow indicating promotion of health.
• Text labels are positioned outside and around the circles, clarifying the concepts of "Telemedicine" and "Telehealth."
• Three smaller labels ("Health," "+preventive, promotive," and "Medicine") are connected to their respective areas with thin lines.
• Color contrast is used to differentiate between the overlapping sections of the graphic.
• Typography is clean and modern, with a bold type for the title and smaller, regular type for the body text.

The slide is visually balanced and uses color coding effectively to distinguish between the overlapping concepts of telehealth and telemedicine. The use of icons within the graphic elements helps to communicate the information in an easy-to-understand visual manner.
