Enhancing the Abilities of Healthcare SectorTelehealth uses digital and telecommunications technologies to access or provide healthcare services remotely. Telehealth solutions comprise technologies (hardware & software) that enable providers to deliver medical services and patients to access them without either of them meeting physically. Telemedicine solutions have shown great promise in increasing access to care for distant, underserved rural communities. Since patients need not go to see their physicians in person, people who face difficulty with mobility or transportation can receive care from the comfort and privacy of their own homes.
Health Access for the elderly and patients with complicated conditions like post-surgery or cardiac arrest can become inconvenient. However, delays in care delivery in such cases can increase the health risks of the patients. Advanced telehealth solutions improve care access among high-risk adults and senior communities. Cloud-based telehealth is essential for looking after patients in homes and healthcare settings or those in rural areas. Telehealth dermatology, for instance, allows patients to consult with doctors about skin problems.
OSP can develop customized telehealth applications that will allow patients to have telehealth virtual visits through telehealthcare. Our telehealth monitoring systems enable patients to go through preventive health screenings. Besides telehealth physical therapy, OSP can also engineer telehealth psychiatry to offer mental health services.
