Telehealth
Telehealth is a way of providing healthcare services remotely using technology like video calls, phone calls, and online messaging. It lets doctors and other healthcare providers see and treat patients without being in the same location. This has become increasingly important since the COVID-19 pandemic. Similar terms you might see include telemedicine, virtual care, or remote healthcare. Think of it like video conferencing specifically designed for medical appointments, with extra features to keep patient information private and secure.
