Can’t find time to see your GP? -Telehealth might be the answer.

Imagine you are down with the flu. Yes, not particularly a pretty sight but we have all been there. Naturally, you decide to take the day off from class or work, so you can see a doctor and more importantly rest. But, instead of taking a nap in your own bed that you desperately need, you spend half your day looking for a good GP, booking an appointment and waiting an hour in queue before you can actually see a doctor.

Patients concerned about privacy and providers worried about costs related to training of medical staff. The slow uptake of technology in healthcare left silos within departments and increased wait times.
