Healthcare Virtually Anywhere
Telemedicine allows medical professionals to conduct office visits using telephone or video over the internet, rather than meeting in person. This is also known as “virtual care,” or “video chat” with your doctor. Virtual visits are similar to FaceTime, Skype, Google Video, or whatever you may already use for video calls with friends and family.
