What is Remote Healthcare and How Does It Work?
Remote healthcare, also known as telehealth or telemedicine, is a healthcare delivery model that allows patients to receive medical care and services remotely, without the need for in-person visits.
It utilizes technologies such as remote patient monitoring (RPM), telemedicine software, and patient portals to facilitate communication and care between patients and healthcare providers.
Remote Patient Monitoring involves the use of devices that collect and transmit patients’ vital signs, health data, and symptoms to healthcare professionals in real-time. This enables continuous monitoring and timely intervention, particularly beneficial for managing chronic conditions and post-operative care.
Telemedicine software enables secure and private video consultations between patients and healthcare providers. It allows for remote diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up visits, eliminating the need for physical appointments and reducing travel time and costs.
Patient portals provide individuals with access to their electronic health records, lab results, appointment scheduling, and medication reminders. They empower patients to actively participate in their healthcare management, enhancing communication and engagement between patients and providers.
