Telehealth and remote care will grow
Posted: Sun Dec 22, 2024 5:56 am
Public safety concerns have forced millions of knowledge workers to work remotely. And their preference for digital is impacting their health expectations.
According to Accenture's 2019 Consumer Digital Health philippine telegram Survey, consumers will increasingly choose healthcare providers that support digital capabilities such as
Booking, cancellation and postponement of appointments
Request a prescription renewal
Communicate directly with suppliers via email
Receive text or email reminders about follow-up and preventive care
When possible, consumers also want to receive treatment outside of the doctor’s office. About 29% of consumers have already received some form of virtual care, and those surveyed by Accenture found they would prefer it for the following scenarios:
Mental health counseling
Treatment of physical injuries
STD screening
For patients with chronic pain, receiving treatment via virtual reality is emerging as a safer and more effective alternative to drugs. Patients recovering from stroke or struggling with PTSD or anxiety may also benefit from VR.
