Telehealth

What is Telehealth?

Telehealth is the use of electronics to extend care when you and the provider aren’t in the same place at the same time. If you have a phone or a device with the internet, you already have everything you need to do telehealth:

Talk to your provider live over the phone or video chat
Send and receive messages from your provider using chat messaging, email, secure messaging, and secure file exchange
Use remote patient monitoring so your provider can check on you at home. For example, you might use a device to gather ECG or other vitals to help your provider stay informed on your progress.
