TeleHealth

It can often be inconvenient for patients to visit a doctor’s office: they must take time off work, re-arrange their schedules, find a means of transportation, and so on. For patients in rural areas, it may involve a long drive, or even a flight if no specialist is available in the region. For these reasons, some medical providers have been exploring ways to provide medical attention remotely, using the telephone.
