Ziqitza - What is Telehealth Services
                     
Telehealth is the practice of managing your health care and 
receiving medical care remotely by using internet 
information and communication technologies. Technologies 
include desktop and mobile devices like tablets and 
smartphones. You might utilise this technology at home or, 
in remote places, a nurse or other healthcare provider could 
offer telehealth services out of a clinic or mobile van. 
Telehealth, according to Ziqitza Healthcare ltd, is the use of 
technology by your healthcare professional to improve or 
support healthcare services.
 
Some of the goals of telehealth, also referred to as e-health 
or m-health (mobile health), include the following:
1. Make it easier for people to receive healthcare if they live in 
remote or rural areas.
2. To keep everyone safe from communicable diseases such as 
COVID-19.
3. Provide primary care for a variety of ailments.
4. Make services easier to use or more convenient for people 
who have limited time, mobility, or transportation.
5. Provide access to medical experts.
6. Enhance communication and care coordination between the 
medical staff and the patient.
7. Provide guidance on how to handle your own medical care.
Ziqitza elaborates that a vast majority of people used and adopted 
telehealth during the COVID-19 pandemic and are still using it. 
Ziqitza Healthcare lists down a variety of benefits of telehealth 
services -
Virtual Visits: Some clinics may employ telemedicine to deliver 
care across distance. Clinics might provide virtual visits, for 
instance. These enable you to speak with a nurse, mental 
health counsellor, or healthcare professional via phone or video 
chat. Numerous diseases, including migraines, skin disorders, 
diabetes, depression, anxiety, colds, coughing, and COVID-19, 
can be treated with virtual visits. Through these visits, you can 
get care from a provider when an in-person visit is not required 
or is not feasible. Ziqitza Rajasthan elaborates that numerous 
diseases, including migraines, skin disorders, diabetes, 
depression, anxiety, colds, coughing, and COVID-19, can be 
treated with virtual visits. 
 
Remote Monitoring: The ability to remotely check on your 
health is made possible by a number of technologies. Included 
in these technologies are:
1. Web-based or mobile apps used for uploading or sending data to 
your provider or the medical staff. Ziqitza Limited says, for 
instance, if you have diabetes, you can upload food diaries, blood 
sugar readings, and medication that a nurse checks.
2. Devices that wirelessly communicate information on variables like 
blood pressure, blood sugar, and oxygen levels.
3. Automated data collection and transmission from wearable 
technology. Such information as your heart rate, blood sugar, gait 
pattern, posture, tremors, physical activity, or sleep patterns, for 
instance, may be recorded by the devices.
4. Home monitoring systems that can detect changes in daily 
activities, such as falls, in elderly or dementia patients.
5. Devices that alert you when it's time to take medication or 
exercise.
Ability to consult multiple care providers: In order to better 
serve their patients, providers might also leverage technology. 
For instance, when they have issues about your diagnosis or 
treatment, primary care doctors can receive advice from 
specialists in other cities through a virtual consultation. Exam 
notes, medical history, test results, X-rays, and other images are 
sent to the specialist by the primary care physician for review. 
The expert might respond by email. A virtual appointment with 
you at your provider's office is another option. Additionally, 
they can request a face-to-face encounter.
 
The use of technology by a nurse or other healthcare provider 
to deliver care from a doctor's office, clinic, or mobility van in a 
rural location is occasionally possible. ZHL Rajasthan explains 
that the nurses can dial the number of a specialist or provider 
at a hospital to conduct a remote consultation.
These online consultations could reduce the need for 
pointless in-person referrals to a specialist. They might 
shorten the time you have to wait to visit a specialist. 
Additionally, they can eliminate the requirement for you 
to visit a professional.
Patient Portals:  A patient portal may be available 
online at your primary care office. Instead of using 
email, these portals give you a safer alternative to 
communicate with your provider.
Health Applications: To assist patients better manage 
their medical information in a safe location, many apps 
have been created. These digital tools help you:
  Keep a record of your medical information.
  Keep track of the vitals.
  Track and calculate your caloric intake.
   Set up reminders to take your medicines.
  Keep a daily step count or other record of your 
physical activity.
 
The quality of healthcare could be enhanced through 
technology. Furthermore, technology may make it 
simpler for more people to access medical treatment.
