Telemedicine in Family Practice

Telemedicine in family practice refers to the use of technology, like video calls and smartphone apps, to provide healthcare services remotely. This approach allows patients to consult with their family doctors without needing to visit the office in person. It enhances access to care, especially for those in remote areas or with mobility issues. Telemedicine can be used for routine check-ups, follow-ups, and some diagnostic evaluations. Overall, it aims to improve convenience, save time, and maintain quality healthcare while ensuring safety and efficiency in managing patients’ health.
