LET US TALK ABOUT: TELEMEDICINE

The term "telemedicine" refers to the delivery of clinical services remotely through two-way, real-time audio and visual communication between a patient and a healthcare professional. Telemedicine sounds a bit like science fiction, but the practice is far from fictitious.

It is challenging to contest the advantages of telemedicine. The first benefit of telemedicine is convenience: there is no need for a babysitter, traffic, time off work, or gas. Patients are more likely to seek care because a lot of the anxiety associated with in-person visits has been removed. It resembles a house call that was made previously, but virtually.

Telemedicine offers various health advantages in addition to convenience. The practice's increased accessibility to healthcare services, particularly primary care and follow-up appointments, is its most significant benefit. Telemedicine is a solution for people to communicate with doctors from anywhere with an internet connection, regardless of whether they have a busy schedule, have limited time off from work, or are unable to drive. Clear and recorded patient communication results in better patient monitoring for doctors and fewer missed appointments.

As we continue to have development in technology, telehealth or telemedicine proceeds to provide its goal, helping the healthcare field to provide quality care at a lesser cost. With that, the picture shown below consists of tips during at-home sessions for telemedicine.

Did you know that one of the dirtiest part of the body are the hands?
Our hands are used in grasping, holding, and touching objects around us. Hands are also used in exhibiting nonverbal communication with other people. Due to these exposures, our hands may also be a way to acquire and transmit pathogenic microorganisms (Morson, 2022)

Now, we can combat those littele germs through hand hygiene. Hand hygiene is the most effective infection control procedure. However, we must be able to be reminded when to do that and what are the ways to do that.

Now, SNspeaks presents a product of the internet of things called "Electronic Hand Hygiene Monitoring Systems". Be ready to be equipped with knowledge and together, let us eradicate pathogenic microrganism! See the images and watch the video for more: https://youtu.be/J9NWSPuEjnQ 🔊
