The practice of telemedicine in the Philippines is becoming a widely accepted approach for taking care of a patient’s medical needs through the use of digital and telecommunication technology or devices, but not everyone is aware exactly what the term means, its procedures, and how it is used between healthcare providers, medical doctors and patients.
Telemedicine is a clinical services platform through remote diagnosis and treatment of patients using digital and telecommunications technology. Simply, a medical doctor conducts consultation visit using audio and video over the internet, rather than meeting face-to-face with the patient.
How telemedicine works for you?
As a patient, you need to set a consultation audio and video visit schedule. You need to download a telemedicine application and create an account. Make sure that you have an active personal email account to secure your data privacy. You may open this application on your smartphone, tablet, laptop or desktop computer that has high-speed internet access, audio and camera.

Attend your consultation audio and video appointment that can be done anywhere with good internet connection, enough privacy, and of course, with comfort. If you prefer to have someone accompany you during your appointment in consideration of device or technology use, you may do so.
