Abstract
China faces a serious situation with insufficiently medical and health resources as well as the unreasonable resources distribution. In this paper, evolutionary game theory is employed to investigate the underlying model of the satellite hospital and patient in telemedicine-based Healthcare Consortium System. Its evolutionary process and results are analyzed for verification of the benefits brought by telemedicine. It can be concluded through the model simulation that both sides can get the most benefit when choosing telemedicine.
