How Online Doctor Consultations Are Helpful for Elderly People?
With social distancing and self-isolation becoming a new norm, online doctor consultations have gained momentum. Such services can help you get the advice of a physician, as required from the comforts of your home. Vesta Elder Care offers you this facility within an affordable range, thus eliminating the high cost of typical consultations at nursing institutes or hospitals. We collaborate with qualified and experienced general physicians, dermatologists, orthopaedics, dieticians, and oncology specialists to offer short-term and long-term health management solutions.
What’s more? Our online doctor consultations are a boon for senior citizens and immobile patients who require assistance within the home environment. Serving as one of the most viable alternatives for those who require urgent care, here are the potential benefits of our online doctor consultations:
Instant Medical Care and Attention
Consulting a doctor online means eliminating long queues at clinics and hospitals. Ensure prompt, reliable, and convenient medical attention by fixing up a time and date online and having a healthcare specialist attend to you through voice call, video call, or physical consultation.
Consulting a doctor online saves the hassle of lifting and shifting the patient from one place to another. Additionally, you can save the patient from the discomfort and physical exertion of commuting long distances in taxis, trains or buses, especially during harsh weather conditions. It also saves the time that goes into travelling to the doctor’s clinic or hospital. And in this process, you end up saving big on fuel and money.
Moreover, the ease of sharing medical records, reports and prescriptions digitally through direct transfer from diagnostic centres or scanned copies, reduces the hassles of carrying medical documents during in-person visits.
Customised Care
Online doctor consultations ensure care for the elderly or any other patient at home without compromising on treatment quality. It helps you avail specialised medical services for your specific health condition and even assists in getting a second opinion regarding any age-related health condition without rushing from one clinic to another. Disease-specific expertise and personalised care improve diagnosis, treatment and disease management.
No Location Boundaries
No need to worry about advanced doctor consultations, advice, diagnosis and treatment if you live in a rural area where it’s challenging to find top-quality healthcare services. Our online doctor consultations eliminate boundary limitations, helping individuals consult regular doctors or physicians regardless of their location. Such services are extremely useful for patients in need of periodic or immediate evaluations by a nurse or physician.
