What is Telehealth and How Does it Work?

What-is-telehealth

Some people think telehealth simply means talking to a GP over the phone or using Skype. While this can be the case, a virtual consultation with a doctor via telehealth should be a secure and private conversation between patient and their chosen GP at time that can be easily booked directly by the patient online.   

And it is more than just a quick chat to verify symptoms. A custom-built telehealth GP service allows patients to have a video consultation with a registered doctor on a secure platform, without sharing personal Skype IDs or doctor’s mobile phone numbers for a Facetime call.  Online doctor appointments can provide a range of outcomes including online medical certificates, referrals to specialists or pathology as well as prescriptions if you are unwell. A one-time patient registration process allows for quick, accessible and convenient healthcare. 

This accessible approach to healthcare (known as telehealth) doesn’t seem all that ground-breaking in this age of evolving technology. 

Actually we agree with you – Doctors on Demand is a telehealth service that takes primary care to another level, where the patient can engage an Australian registered doctor any time of day or night with a 24/7 roster of doctors available online.  And we have delivered 48,000 online video consultations over the past few years so we know how to make it a smooth experience for the patient and the doctor.
