Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic limited access to healthcare and medicine to patients seeking medical assistance; however, implementing tele-healthcare is beneficial in providing the attention needed for higher success rates in the recovery of illness. Here we report the data on tele-healthcare outcomes, specifically the positive correlation of impact on the treatment of COVID-19 and management of post-infection conditions. With primary utilization of video calling, patients provided the necessary visuals (i.e., tongue, etc.) required by the practitioners to facilitate the most appropriate treatment plan. Other methods include photography of visuals sent during or prior to patients’ virtual visits. Tele-healthcare provides patients the ability to receive medical care against restraints of in-person visit availability.
