Telehealth will, of course, never replace the doctor. Rather, its aim is to provide helpful and meaningful support. The personal contact remains with regular examinations at the practice and is an important element of diagnosis and therapy management.
• The doctor-patient relationship is supported
If Telehealth Plus is offered by the physician, this supplements the classic but irregular contact with regular care. Consequently, the important trust relationship with the doctor can be strengthened.
• Medical time: reduction in the number and duration of visits to the doctor
Both the independent data recording by the patient and the improved planning of the number of visits to the doctor ensure more efficient use of working time.
• Improved therapy management with decision support
Patient data recorded regularly also increase the security of the physician if it is possible to refer to them when diagnosing and prescribing therapy. Furthermore, the system programmes are based on medical principles, which have been developed with medical practitioners and are updated regularly.
