Telehealth
Telehealth, or telemedicine, involves utilizing telecommunications technology to deliver healthcare services from a distance. This encompasses various aspects such as consultations, diagnoses, treatment strategies, monitoring, and beyond, eliminating the necessity for patients to physically visit a medical facility.
Virtual doctors, comprising healthcare practitioners like physicians, nurses, therapists, and specialists, deliver these services remotely via telehealth platforms, connecting with the employees through methods like video calls, phone conversations, text messaging, or secure messaging applications.

Telehealth breaks down geographical barriers, making healthcare more accessible toyour employees in remote or underserved areas who may have difficulty reaching traditional healthcare facilities.
