American TelePhysicians’ Post

We’re going to be short 37,800 doctors by 2034. (And that’s the lowball number, according to the Association of Medical Colleges). This shortage is going to be felt most strongly among specialists. Can virtual speciality care be an answer? Here’s what you need to know: 1️⃣ The demand for virtual specialty care is on the rise, fueled by patients encountering barriers to accessing in-person specialists. 2️⃣ Specialists tend to be in urban areas and there usually are lengthy wait times for appointments. This means that rural patients are encountering significant challenges in accessing care. 3️⃣ Telemedicine can be a lifeline for these patients and a way to sidestep geographical healthcare disparities. The expansion of virtual health care may become crucial to ensuring equitable access to specialized care—regardless of location. #Healthcare #Rural #Urban #Telemedicine #VirtualCare #Doctors

Good eldercare requires quick interventions that saves lives How many times have we tried to call a Doctor during a medical episode or emergency? How many times have they been able to come home immediately? Our guess – Almost never! In today’s times, it is almost impossible to expect your Doctor or Specialist to be available whenever you need them most. You always have to make an appointment a few days or weeks in advance. But medical emergencies don’t make appointments! Furthermore, even if the Doctor does come home, there’s still a very limited set of vitals that they can check at home, which may not give a clear picture of health. Chances are that the Doctor will request additional tests which would require you to visit the Hospital or Lab. So whatever happened to “quick interventions”? That’s where the RHEMOS Health Station comes in.. A Digital Health solution specifically designed to address this issue and India’s first truly comprehensive telemedicine ecosystem designed to ensure immediate interventions for home & eldercare.
