Virtual Wellness: Maximizing Your Online Doctor Visit for Personalized Care and Convenience!

Here’s How You Can Help Make Your Online Doctor Visit Better

With the lockdown continuing and people adjusting to the new normal, online doctor consultations are starting to be more widely accepted. After having consulted patients over the phone, WhatsApp, and video calls for the past three months, I believe that there are some basic things that a patient can do to make the most of their online medical consultation.

Pick the time

Choose a convenient time for your consultation so you can remain undisturbed throughout your appointment.

Where you sit matters.

Choose a comfortable place for your consultation. The ideal place must-

Have a table or a surface to keep your device, as you may need to lean into the camera to show the affected area.

Give you privacy to discuss your concerns with the doctor.

Not to have too much noise in the background.

Have adequate light so the doctor can see you correctly.

Have good Wi-Fi or network reception to ensure you have good internet speed.

Hardware

You can generally use either a computer or a phone to connect to the online software for your appointment. If you need some privacy, you may choose to use headphones.

Test it

Try connecting to the meeting link before the actual appointment. This allows you to check that everything is working fine and fix any issues that may arise so that you can have a glitch-free appointment.

Take notes

While you are meeting with your doctor online, it is important to take notes about what the doctor says (including advice and best practices) for your future reference.

Patience is Key

Sometimes, connectivity issues can hamper audio-video clarity. Here are some suggestions to help you make it work better:

Speak in short and clear sentences. It makes for more accessible communication.

Ask only a few questions in one go. Ask all questions you may have, but just one at a time.

Wait for the doctor to respond before you move to the next question.

If you need help hearing the doctor correctly, ask your doctor to repeat their advice. There’s no harm in asking them to clarify your doubts.
