According to the American Medical Association, over 70% of non-life-threatening medical conditions can be resolved by speaking to a doctor over the phone. And this is exactly what telemedicine is \u2013 consulting with a doctor over voice calls, video calls or live chat. It is a comprehensive service that can include prescriptions, pharmacy management, lab management, referrals, and other services.<\/span><\/p>\n Telemedicine simplifies healthcare for patients, doctors and insurance providers. During the pandemic, <\/span>we saw a huge increase in telemedicine utilisation not just in the UAE but on a worldwide basis as people sought medical help from the comfort of their own home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Technological developments have made it possible for telemedicine to develop into a high-quality, effective medical service. It has also made healthcare more accessible and cost-effective, with patients being able to simply dial into quality healthcare 24\/7 from anywhere in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n \n <\/p>\n Telemedicine connects a patient to a medical professional remotely, enabling them to communicate and share information in real-time using their computers or mobile phones even if they are not physically in the same location.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n The easiest way to access this service is through your medical insurance provider\u2019s mobile app. The app will most likely have a portal where you can enjoy instant access to a doctor, psychologist or wellness expert.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n Thanks to technological advancements, doctors can see and capture readings from medical devices at any location, no matter how near or far away they are. Patients can view their medical records and their doctor\u2019s input on their screens in real-time during the course of their consultation.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\nHow it works<\/b><\/h2>\n
