This paper is the systematic review of peer-reviewed research papers and research journal articles about telemedicine
technology and its future in the Bangladesh context. Telemedicine technology, Clinical applications, Communication technology,
Wireless technology, Modern tools in telemedicine are mainly needed to describe for a better understanding of the telemedicine area.
Although uses of telemedicine at all over the world are increasing day by day, still now in Bangladesh it is a matter of concern because of
its quality, services, and effectiveness. In this paper, we will show that the available research on telemedicine are failed to provide
satisfactory specifications of the exact telemedicine technologies and to explore perfect technologies in depth and also the generalize
satisfaction with telemedicine technologies are needed to improve because of deficiencies in the methodology of the current standard. We
will describe all the technologies and then propose a new pathway of telemedicine for the future of Bangladesh. All technologies will be
in the same article and compare it with future scope for using in Bangladesh.

Telemedicine, Technologies, Applications, Systematic review, Effectiveness, Future of Bangladesh
By this systematic survey of the literature on the
telemedicine technology systems, we see only 20% shows
actual telemedicine technology, and publications that we
searched, only 2 used material experiments. To determine
technical parameters, the vast majority used subjective
measures. No research work meets perfect systematic
review of the entire end to end system. Therefore we have
evaluated and proposed an evaluation method based on
objective testing.
