Track, Fight and Beat your Cancer with Telemedicine
In recent years we have witnessed an increasing development in new technologies; mobile phones, and particularly Smartphones, have become an essential tool in daily life.
The health area has also experienced an important change in the way in which information is accessed. Internet has become a tool used for reference both by healthcare professionals and patients.
Health Apps are increasingly being used for patient care in oncology. With the growing popularity of mobile devices, healthcare consumers have instant access to information about cancer prevention, detection, and treatment options on their handheld portable devices.
More specifically, health apps provide health-related services, interactive tools, and support via smartphones or tablet devices to cancer patients, their family members, and caregivers to manage life-altering cancer experiences. For instance, patients can play a more active role in managing their cancer care by using smartphone health apps to log medications, track treatments, monitor side effects, and schedule follow-up appointments.
Indeed, health apps have the potential to positively influence self-efficacy, empowerment, and the self-management activities of patients.
The use of electronic communications and software to give healthcare services to patients without an in-person visit is known as telemedicine. Follow-up visits, management of chronic illnesses, medication management, specialist consultation, and a variety of other clinical services that can be performed remotely via secure video and audio links are all common uses for telemedicine technology. It as an alternative for in-person appointments, provides a number of advantages for both patients and clinicians, just at the tap of your finger with our App Telemedicine.
Some other benefits of Telemedicine are:
· Remote chronic disease management
· Remote post-hospitalization care
· Preventative care support
· Improves medication adherence
· No exposure to other potentially contagious patients
· Improves provider communication and coordination
The app gives instant access to oncology-specific information in an easy-to-use quick reference guide to facilitate understanding and give patients clarity.
It includes features that allow patients to get up to date information on more than 120 types of cancer, log and track their treatments, receive advice on how to manage side effects, provide cost of care information, and connect to links for cancer-related podcasts, videos, and blogs.
