These trying times call for innovative ways on how we can still take care of our physical and mental well-being. With the abrupt changes in how society deals with the new normal, we are being forced to switch online—medical consultations included. Having online consultations may be a strange way to have check-ups and meeting with your doctors. In a similar way, online medical consultations are also new avenues for clinics and healthcare professionals to provide service to their patients. It is not anymore surprising to see websites for cardiologists, for dentists, for psychiatric consultations, and many more!

E-visits and Its Benefits

Technology plays a vital role in continuously providing care for different patient groups. Aside from the known benefits of technology in aiding the medical industry to thrive, telemedicine and e-visits are the growing technological advancements in terms of remote consultations with patients and their respective healthcare providers.

Focusing on e-visits or the online medical consultations as compared to the traditional physical consultations, 98% of the 40,000 clinical cases recommend online consultations. Part of this approval is due to the lower costs and strong indicators of clinical effectiveness. That’s just one study and it still depends on what type of check-up you usually have with your doctors. But if you have a health issue that is not an emergency or does not require an urgent physical and medical attention, then you might want to consider having an e-visit with your doctor.

Here are some benefits that online medical consultations have:

  • Saving money

Going online might be a common misconception that it will be more expensive than traditional consultations. As stated in the aforementioned study, an online consultation can allow you to save up to $88. For people without health insurance, going online is also considered as cost-effective.

  • No need to worry about travel time

Another benefit is not having to worry about transportation expenses and the time to be spent just in travelling. E-visits allow patients from remote areas to easily access medical consultations since going online means no location boundaries. This is also favorable for patients suffering from reduced mobility.

  • Rise of Telemedicine

Although telemedicine is another facet of online medical consultation, it is important to understand that with the combination of these two, the exchange of medical information can easily be done. There is the existence of a telemedicine doctor that takes care of the job of using information to make diagnosis and create a treatment plan. Getting the latest health information from your doctor has been made easy.

  • Get 24/7 medical advice

E-visits get rid of having to wait outside of your doctor’s clinic or making an appointment with them. Since online doctors are available 24/7, you can immediately seek for their help or advice. With the gadgets that we have, it is incredibly convenient and fast to have consultations with our doctors.

There are still lots of benefits that online medical consultations can bring us. With the aid of technology and the gadgets that are within our reach, we should learn how to utilize them to be of help for our health and well-being.
