Telehealth has changed the landscape of healthcare, making consulting with a doctor easy, affordable, and less time-consuming. Seniors can benefit from virtual appointments as they offer them the ability to manage their health in the comfort of their homes. Additionally, telehealth offers caregivers the information they need to maintain the health of a loved one.
Telehealth for seniors can help to manage the following conditions:
Palliative care – If a caregiver is taking care of a senior whose health is deteriorating, they can receive regular feedback on how to keep the patient comfortable during this time.
Transitional care for heart disease – Following heart failure, home caregivers will have to get advice on how to disperse medicine, maintain a healthy diet, and exercise program, while managing stress levels.
Chronic disease management – Caregivers can report on how a patient’s chronic disease is progressing while being guided on how to dispense medication and manage their diet.
Care for frail individuals – Patients who have trouble leaving their home, can receive information and address concerns relating to joint pain, muscle stiffness, medication, managing and preventing accidents.
In-person consultations can involve additional costs in terms of travel, hospital waiting times, and the difficulty involved in moving frail patients. Telehealth services on the other hand can improve the health of the elderly and educate their caregivers while reducing the need for costly in-person appointments. Virtual healthcare can empower seniors to take better care of their health, while giving them the confidence to live healthier more fulfilling lives.
