Hearing a lot about telehealth lately? Connecting with your doctor online is a great way to get the health care you need from the comfort and safety of your own home. It is especially beneficial if you are concerned about the health risk of COVID-19!
What does telehealth mean?
Telehealth — sometimes called telemedicine — lets your doctor provide care for you without an in-person office visit. Telehealth is done primarily online with internet access on your computer, tablet, or smartphone.
There are several options for telehealth care:
- Talk to your doctor live over the phone or video chat.
- Send and receive messages from your doctor using secure messaging, email, secure messaging, and secure file exchange.
- Use remote monitoring so your doctor can check on you at home. For example, you might use a device to gather vital signs or other vitals to help your doctor stay informed on your progress.
