What is Telehealth?

Telehealth uses digital information and communication technologies like computers and mobile devices to remotely access and manage healthcare services. It encompasses various healthcare services, including consultations, diagnoses, monitoring, and treatment delivered remotely via video conferencing, phone calls, text messages, or other digital communication methods. Telehealth allows patients to receive medical care from healthcare professionals without visiting a physical facility. This can be especially beneficial for individuals who live in remote areas, have mobility limitations, or need regular monitoring for chronic conditions.
