The newest telemedicine apps now come with video call features, allowing telemedicine consultants to communicate and interact with patients as though they were in the same room. The results are promising. In fact, a survey recently conducted showed that 90% of users were satisfied with their telehealthexperience. In this time of the pandemic, remote care truly is the most efficient and safest option. 3. It will help streamline your processes.
