How Telemedicine in Hopkins is Transforming the Healthcare Industry

Often, when we think about technology, senior citizens are left out of the conversation. It is assumed that many do not participate in an online community, nor do they want access to all that the Internet has to offer. However, we know that more and more people over the age of 65 are connected digitally to family, friends, and many other venues on a daily basis.

As seniors often require doctor visits for various medical conditions, using telemedicine is providing seniors the ability to access their doctors in ways never before possible. Rather than stay alone at home, without answers to vital health questions, now seniors can enjoy a high-quality telehealth visit from the comfort of their home in Hopkins, MN.

Telehealth is vital to everyone’s highest quality of healthcare. There are numerous advantages to telehealth including:

• Keeping healthcare affordable
• Reducing the number of caregiver visits
• Answering vital healthcare questions by a health professional
• Allowing the homebound the same access to quality healthcare
• Reducing travel expenses
• Reducing unnecessary hospital visits
• Improving overall patient satisfaction

A virtual care platform, now offered by Sholom through VitalTech services, helps to bring high-quality healthcare to seniors through telemedicine services.

How Does Telehealth Care in Hopkins for and Manage Conditions and Diseases?

There are so many ways that elderly patients and family caregivers can use telehealth to their advantage in Hopkins. Examples include:

Chronic Disease Management: At-home caregivers can use telehealth services to report on the condition of their loved ones as a disease is progressing over time. When you book a telehealth appointment, you are able to stay on top of dietary information, and mental and physical changes, as well as changes in medications.

Palliative Care: When an elderly patient’s condition begins to deteriorate, their caregivers now have the opportunity to use a telemedicine appointment to not only report on the patient’s condition, but to receive valuable feedback and advice from healthcare professionals.

Primary Care for the Very Frail: Often, as patients age, they have difficulties moving around, including leaving their home. Now, with the help of telehealth services, they can consult about a variety of primary healthcare issues and concerns. Accident management, medications, muscle stiffness, mobility, and more are all discussed with a healthcare professional.

Healthcare for Heart Failure: An at-home caregiver can now stay on top of a loved one’s heart condition through a telemedicine visit. They will understand the best ways of dealing with physical activity, dispensing medications, diet, and managing stress levels for anyone who has experienced heart failure episodes.
