How Virtual Care Works
With healthcare moving rapidly, technology is making it easier for healthcare professionals to communicate with their patients. With the COVID-19 pandemic, this has accelerated. Barriers have been broken down, that previously impeded access to timely medical care for so many. Using regulated ultra-private modalities, patients can now interface with healthcare providers from the comfort of their own home. This is especially beneficial for those who live in rural communities, who have mobility issues, and those who need expert advice from specialists who are far away.
