You may be wondering how you can safely see your doctor for certain checkups and issues while safely social distancing or if you don't have a way to physically see your doctor. Luckily, there is a great solution. Telehealth is the best way to get the care you need, all while never having to leave your home. It's safe and reliable and allows you to ask your doctor whatever questions you may have while social distancing.
What Is Telehealth?
Telehealth is the use of telecommunication devices and electronic information to provide the care you may need while not in the same room as your doctor. You may not realize how easy it may be to get the care you need while only using your phone or computer and internet access. With telehealth, you'll be able to chat with your doctor or nurse live over the phone or via video chat. You can also send messages, emails, and secure file exchanges through a secure messaging system. Your doctor may ask you to use something that can measure your vitals that you can easily have access to.
Telehealth has many benefits, and it can help limit how many people you and your doctor come into contact with. You can also receive quality care from the comfort of your own home, which may help calm any anxieties you have about visiting your doctor. It also cuts down travel time and the stress of having to find child care or traveling in bad weather.
