Telemedicine is a highly advantageous medium of medical care and is relatively easy to set up and get started with. First, a smartphone, tablet or computer (either desktop or laptop) is required, along with a reliable internet connection; this is especially crucial for video conferences. A webcam, such as a front-facing camera on a tablet or smartphone, is required for video calling. These are the basic requirements for taking part in telemedicine, the next step is to make an appointment with the clinic. The exact protocols and procedures vary per clinic; they will likely provide step-by-step instructions for how to login to the online portal and meet with the virtual physician.
