BENEFITS OF TELEHEALTH TECHNOLOGY www.mobihealthinternational.com
MOBIHEALTH
TELEHEALTH Telehealth uses videoconferencing technology to connect you to health care providers who are not located in your community. A Telehealth appointment is very similar to a face to face appointment. You can see, hear and talk to your health care provider. Telehealth reduces the need to travel and increases access to health care services.
