How Telemedicine Benefits Patients

​

Because of telemedicine, patients who previously had limited access to health care services can now see a physician without leaving their home. Seniors who would prefer to stay in place can now do so with the use of medical streaming devices. The spread of disease is reduced as individuals with contagious diseases don’t have to expose it to others in crowded waiting rooms.

​

Telemedicine also benefits patients in the following ways:

 

• Transportation: Patients can avoid spending gas money or wasting time in traffic with video consultations.

• No missing work: Today, individuals can schedule a consultation during a work break or even after work hours.

• Childcare/Eldercare Challenges: Those who struggle to find care options can use telemedicine solutions.
