Telemedicine is no longer considered a revolutionary approach to delivering healthcare; rather, it has increasingly integrated into various medical fields, including pediatrics, in recent years. Rapid technological advancements and the growing demand for efficient and accessible healthcare have driven the expansion of telemedicine solutions, enabling physicians and patients to communicate and collaborate remotely. In pediatrics, telemedicine not only introduces new possibilities for diagnosis and monitoring but also facilitates access to specialized care, which is particularly important in remote regions or for centralized specialized facilities. This article provides an overview of the current applications of telemedicine in pediatrics, highlighting its benefits, limitations, and the challenges associated with its implementation in everyday clinical practice.

Keywords: pediatrics, telemedicine, eHealth, telehealth, telemonitoring, innovation.
