* In the long-run, virtual health has the potential to support the
*
continuum of care and also educate patients to self-manage their
conditions better. For people suffering from debilitating conditions
such as diabetes which require constant monitoring and involve
drastic lifestyle adjustments, having such an option can significantly
decrease in-person doctor visits. And this is not a far from reality
thought with many apps and medical technologies now being able to
monitor blood glucose and alert physician’s about their patient’s
state.
At the same time, imagine a patient could be supported regardless of
whatever circumstances they find themselves in. This is going to lay a
gold standard of care for many who are unable, for example to see
their physiotherapist on a regular basis but would benefit so much
from a ‘digital physiotherapy session’. Patient can now make so much
out of their health.
