THE USE OF CHATBOT IN TELEMEDICINE The use of a phone, smartphone, tablet or computer to connect a patient with a Doctor for medical advice is known as telehealth. While technology allowed telehealth to become a reality, it was one that was seldom used in the medical community. Over the past decades many people have been taking advantage of their smart devices by interacting with friends and family and by using online applications for work meetings, doctor appointments and even by having school online. Technology The outbreak of COVID-19 is a concern for everyone. Using tele-health is an effective way to fight COVID-19 by avoiding going out in public and exposing ourselves and others to this virus. Most people consider telehealth to be one of the best solutions for precaution, prevention, and treatment. Telemedicine enables video or phone appointments between a patient and their health care provider. This benefits both convenience and practically. People don’t have to go out in public and can get the same service by not leaving their house. More health care providers are offering to “see” patients by computer and smartphone since COVID-19. Telemedicine is important during this pandemic because it keeps distance between people and health care workers. By this we are enabling the sick ones with COVID symptoms to stay home and stop the spread. This also allows people to communicate with their healthcare provider online and keeping the medical staff and all other personel safe. Patients using Telehealth can also contribute in a big role in reducing the capacity management for the nation’s health care system. When COVID was spreading rapidly and no one knew how to manage patients and/or the spread, the hospitals saw an overload on patients and did not know what to do. We all were witnesses to it by seeing it all over the news. Now doctors can stay in contact with their patients and let them know how to manage their symtoms and take care of themselves. Telehealth is one of the many ways health care providers continued to care for their patients in difficult times like this global pandemic. By having an online source kids were still allowed to attend school, people were able to attend their therapy sessions, people were able to attend churches and even continue their businesses online. Not all health concerns can be discussed over the phone or over a video conference platform but rather than going to the doctor’s office for every reason some sessions can be in person and some in person. In my opinion I believe that every doctor should have access to telehealth to make it easier on themselves, their patients and their employees.
