Telemedicine in rheumatology

Telemedicine in rheumatology involves using technology, such as video calls or online platforms, to connect patients with rheumatologists remotely. This allows for consultations, follow-up visits, and monitoring of conditions like arthritis or lupus without needing to visit the clinic in person. It enhances access to specialized care, especially for those in remote areas or with mobility challenges. Through secure digital communication, doctors can review symptoms, discuss treatment options, and monitor disease progress, making rheumatologic care more convenient and efficient while maintaining quality.
