Telemedicine is the practice of providing medical care and consultation remotely using telecommunications technology, such as video conferencing, messaging, or phone calls. It allows patients to receive medical care without having to visit a physical office, and it can be especially useful for people who live in remote areas, have mobility issues, or need to self-isolate due to contagious illness.

Telemedicine can be used for a variety of medical services, including consultations, diagnoses, monitoring, and prescribing medications. It has become increasingly popular and important during the Covid-19 pandemic, as it allowed healthcare providers to continue providing care to patients while minimizing the risk of exposure to the virus.

Telemedicine has some limitations though, as not all medical conditions can be diagnosed or treated remotely. However, it is a valuable tool for many patients and providers, and it is likely to continue to play an important role in healthcare in the future.

Investing in stocks requires careful analysis of financial data to find out a company's true worth. However, an easier way to find out about a company's performance is to look at its financial ratios.

Two commonly used financial ratios used in the valuation of stocks are -

Price to Earnings Ratio (P/E) - It compares the company's stock price with its earnings per share. The higher the P/E ratio, the more expensive the stock.

Price to Book Value Ratio (P/BV) - It compares a firm's market capitalization to its book value. A high P/BV indicates markets believe the company's assets to be undervalued and vice versa.

To know more about the telemedicine or the healthcare sector's past and ongoing performance, have a look at the performance of the BSE Healthcare Index.

Well, it depends on what your goals are.

Having said that, the two key indices to track are the BSE Sensex which contains the list of BSE 30 stocks and the NSE Nifty which contains the list of NSE 50 stocks. 

However, these two indices are considered to be too narrow by some, since they only track 30 and 50 stocks, respectively.

For broader tracking, you could use the BSE 200, BSE 500 or even the NSE 500 index.

Some popular market cap based indices include BSE Smallcap index and BSE Midcap index , among others.
