For patients, equipment requirements for telemedicine are basic and include an internet-enabled device such as a smartphone, tablet, laptop, or desktop; a secure and reliable internet connection; and a webcam (included in most smartphones, tablets, and laptops). This will provide access to online patient portals and other media that enable remote communication. These basic requirements make telemedicine not only feasible but also a more convenient and affordable healthcare option.   On the other hand, the technological requirements for healthcare practices are more intricate and involve specialized equipment that was specifically designed for virtual care. These include: • Remote vital monitoring • Virtual stethoscopes • Wireless scales • Thermometers • Digital otoscopes • Pulse oximeters • High-quality cameras for specialty practices • HIPAA-compliant software All of these devices and instruments enable a better provision of virtual care and allow physicians to provide a more complete picture of care remotely.   For top-level telemedicine services that can improve your quality of life, trust the professionals at PrimeHealth Primary Care.
