Telemedicine is a technology that allows people to receive care remotely while the healthcare practitioner is physically in a different location from the patient. The present COVID-19 pandemic has forced people to adhere to social distancing measures. Moreover, going outside is a risky affair as there is a probability of virus contamination. Therefore, people are now using telemedicine to deal with their healthcare issues. Information and communication technology is used for delivering healthcare. The Dentulu dental app assists both patients and physicians. In the realm of dentistry, the delivery of dental care from a dentist to a dental patient takes place through telemedicine. This technology is used for:

  • Medical history
  • Clinical examination
  • Follow-up appointments

After the dentist provides a diagnosis, the patient is informed electronically through the dental app about the medical advice they must adhere to, along with a prescription if necessary.

The Components of Telemedicine

The technical components involved in telemedicine are:

  • Hardware
  • Software
  • Connectivity
  • Acquisition
  • Storage
  • Retrieval

Healthcare providers like dentists must understand how to deliver health services by using this technology. Dentulu recommends using the dental app, which is very simple to use and allows dental professionals to provide services without any hassle. In the long term, telemedicine ensures sustainability of healthcare practice and it is also cost-effective.

The Different Types of Telemedicine

There are various forms in use such as:

  • Telephone consultation
  • Chat
  • SMS
  • Video consult
  • Full-fledged telemedicine through approved EMR

Here, the records and images are stored and retrieved. A camera is also used for virtual interactions. These are a few of the attributes of telemedicine. The Dentulu app enables you to have a consultation with a dentist through teledentistry. The use of telemedicine may become the new normal as people have accepted the use of telemedicine in their day to day life. Even in the future, people might no longer seek out traditional brick and mortar clinic treatment and will instead opt to use telemedicine.

With sophisticated technology and automation, dentists and care professionals can spend more time practicing virtually rather than spending their time commuting to a dental office. Further, there is no need to establish a large building for clinical treatment. Patients can also avoid the hassles of travel and waiting at the dentist’s clinic. Even group care is possible through telemedicine and teledentistry. Instantly getting the opinions of multiple specialists is also feasible through telemedicine.

To leverage the advantages of using telemedicine, people should register with the Dentulu app. The features of this app are very easy to use and getting access to a dentist or healthcare practitioners is simple. By using this app, you can deal with complicated healthcare issues, as you would be able to get references for dentists and specialists from other healthcare disciplines. The benefits of using telemedicine are manifold and they can be leveraged by opening an account with the Dentulu app.
