The combination of increasing use of digital devices excessive working hours changed many things in our life including the way we relate to our own health. One of the change is represented by the rapidly increasing online consultation 

Here is when it is good to turn to online medical consultations:

Anytime we need expert advice quickly. Instead of going to the hospital for any problem, we choose the option of talking, at home, with a doctor who will answer all our questions and accurately assess the situation.

If we suffer from a chronic disease. Diabetes, high blood pressure, allergies, depression are just a few examples of conditions that, although we constantly treat them, raise questions. Patients can present their medical history to the doctor with whom they connect through the platform and ask them, punctually, about the problem that has arisen.

When we don't know if we need to go to the hospital or not. Should a sudden fever, headache, or spotting worry us so much that we rush to the hospital or not? The answer to this kind of question lies exactly in an online consultation. The doctor will tell us whether or not there is a need to ask for emergency help or if a mild treatment can be started, since the condition is not life-threatening.

When we don't want to expose our children to risks. The child has a fever or complains of an unexplained tummy ache. Certainly, parents would not want to aggravate his condition and subject him to additional stress (transportation, waiting at the on-call room). A remote consultation will clarify if it is something serious. Another important advantage: the doctor can see the patient!

When we have an elderly or a non-transportable family member. For the elderly diagnosed with chronic conditions, going to the hospital is risky. The main risks are the aggravation of the already established condition, but also coming into contact with other sick people.

When we are traveling. It takes time and documentation to search for available clinics and doctors. An online consultation with the desired specialist solves this problem.

When we are convalescing and don't want to put ourselves at risk. The period of convalescence or recovery after a surgical intervention, after a birth or after a trauma suffered is often strewn with medical problems that are difficult to anticipate. In the situation where the surgeon/family doctor cannot be contacted, a remote consultation is the most convenient solution. The specialist will help us with the best advice and show us the steps to follow.

When we want to ask for a second opinion. Before making an important decision related to long-term treatment or major surgery, patients can also ask for a second opinion. During the online consultation, the medical documents/analyses/x-rays/treatment plan can be presented to the specialist and he will give his opinion or refer us to a new specialist consultation.
