TECHMEDO Virtual Care: The New Way to Access Primary Care
The TECHMEDO VPHC Solution is a telemedicine service that provides primary healthcare services, especially to people living in remote and lower-middle income countries (LMICs).
TechMedo Virtual Primary Care aims to solve the limited access to primary care services in rural and remote areas, particularly in low and lower-middle income countries (LMICs) using telemedicine technology. These areas often have a shortage of healthcare providers and lack of infrastructure, making it difficult for residents to access primary care services. By providing remote consultations and virtual visits, patients in these areas can receive primary care services without the need to travel to a clinic or hospital. This helps to improve access to healthcare for individuals living in remote or underserved areas, and also helps to reduce healthcare costs by avoiding the need for travel and accommodation expenses.
TECHMEDO Virtual primary care is a healthcare delivery model that uses telemedicine technology to provide primary care services remotely. It allows patients to receive care from the comfort of their own home, regardless of their location, schedule, or physical limitations. Virtual primary care solutions include a variety of services, such as virtual consultations with primary care providers, remote monitoring of vital signs and symptoms, and virtual follow-up appointments.
Overall, TECHMEDO virtual primary care solution uses technology to bridge the gap between patients and healthcare providers, making primary care services more accessible and convenient for patients, particularly for those in underserved areas.
