Parchaa Telemedicine Technology: Better Way of Digital Healthcare

Telemedicine means delivering health services like diagnosis, treatment, disease prevention, and medical education using information and communication technologies. We live in an uncertain world, where telemedicine used to just be a suggestion 10 years ago. But after the COVID-19 pandemic, Telemedicine has become crucial in delivering timely care to the community.

Telemedicine does this by eliminating the need for a doctor to be physically present for consultations and emergencies. If a person collapses suddenly, doctors can virtually stabilize the patient by giving proper instructions in less than a minute through telemedicine. The patient can later be shifted to the hospital for proper care.

 With our cutting-edge technology, Parchaa’s Telemedicine application is all set to deliver this exceptional digital care to patients and ease the burden on healthcare professionals  

Benefits of Telemedicine:

Adapting telemedicine enhances the standard of healthcare by keeping the patients connected better to their healthcare providers and improving access to doctors to avoid high-risk environments in the following ways:

1.Better healthcare access: Rural and unprivileged communities can get appropriate treatment using their smartphones, which easily lets them connect with doctors anywhere in the world.

2.Improved healthcare quality: Telemedicine technology makes data collection and frequent patient monitoring possible. This may help diagnosis and promote improved self-care routines. AI-integrated telemedicine systems can evaluate patient data automatically and assist clinicians in reacting rapidly to emerging trends.

3.Efficient and quick healthcare services: Healthcare professionals might be able to see more patients using telemedicine technology. Providers may swiftly compare test findings, examine patient histories, and conduct comprehensive assessments without having to comb through paper data thanks to integration with electronic health records (EHRs). 

4. Seamless patient monitoring and management: With appropriate features in telemedicine applications, healthcare providers can continuously monitor patients as needed and these are the secure channels for medical data sharing.

5. Cost-efficient: Telemedicine applications would be cost-efficient for both doctors and patients in multiple ways. For doctors, it reduces the hospital's operational costs and for patients, it reduces the travel and commute expenses. Additionally, all medical records can be computerized, which reduces the chances of misinterpretations.
