Because of many obvious reasons, people are nowadays avoiding hospital visits for primary care or regular health checkup. <\/span><\/p>\n

One factor fueling their choice to not visit a hospital or clinic is the instant availability of doctors through virtual care solutions or telemedicine apps. <\/span><\/p>\n

According to the survey carried out in Canada, more than 67% of patients agreed to the fact that the use of telemedicine apps dramatically increases their satisfaction with medical care. <\/span><\/p>\n

To satisfy their demand and align your clinic or hospital with a new trend, you should adopt the telemedicine solution. <\/span><\/p>\n

There are many telemedicine companies with whom you can tie up to set up the complete infrastructure to provide virtual care. <\/span><\/p>\n

However, many crucial factors are there which you need to take into consideration before fixing a telemedicine company as your technology partner. <\/span><\/p>\n

Questions to ask telemedicine companies before purchasing or using their products<\/b><\/span><\/h1>\n

You must evaluate any medical equipment very carefully before purchasing it. You should treat the telemedicine app in the same way. <\/span><\/p>\n

1. What is the primary use case of your product?<\/u><\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

A telemedicine app serves many use cases. But it always has a primary use case. <\/span><\/p>\n

For instance, if you\u2019re looking for a telemedicine solution for dietitians, you might need custom features in your specific solution than an all-purpose telemedicine solution. <\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s why, rather than selecting an all-purpose solution and customize it according to your need, go for the specific solution – telemedicine for dietitians. <\/span><\/p>\n

2. Can we offer a health card -covered televisits?<\/u><\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

In provinces, where the televisits are covered by health card, you must provide health card -covered televisits. Otherwise, you will miss out on a very large percentage of the population. <\/span><\/p>\n

3. Is your product compliant with all privacy laws at the federal and provincial levels?<\/u><\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

A telemedicine solution collects, stores, and shares crucial information of the patients. <\/span><\/p>\n

Thus, PIPEDA at the federal level and different privacy acts at the provincial level i.e., PHIPA in Ontario apply to you. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you find guilty for not being compliant with the law, you can also be liable for the penalty along with the telemedicine company. <\/span><\/p>\n

4. What are the paid APIs you have integrated into the telemedicine app?<\/u><\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

A telemedicine app has integration with multiple APIs to accomplish several functionalities such as video calling, chat,  payment, and faxing. <\/span><\/p>\n

For each API, a monthly processing fee needs to be paid and that fee is on your shoulder. <\/span><\/p>\n

The most costly API is the video calling API because it generally charges you per minute of call. <\/span><\/p>\n

5. Do you provide telemedicine hardware support?<\/u><\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

A telemedicine app alone cannot help you provide virtual care. You also need tablets, uninterrupted internet connection, tablet arms, and styluses. <\/span><\/p>\n

You also need to verify whether the partnered company will provide on-site hardware and software support after the installation. <\/span><\/p>\n

6. Have you executed a threat and risk assessment on your product?<\/u><\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

Every software or app has multiple hidden vulnerabilities that promote threat and risk. It can only be eliminated if we identify those vulnerabilities. <\/span><\/p>\n

And to identify them, we need to carry out threat and risk assessment. <\/span><\/p>\n

In other words, an app that undergoes threat and risk assessment can be considered a secure app. <\/span><\/p>\n

7. Do you provide the white-label telemedicine solution?<\/u><\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

The more wise choice here is to have your own telemedicine solution rather than installing a solution that lacks your ownership and makes you liable for the monthly fee. <\/span><\/p>\n

With a white-label solution, you can easily explore more use cases and utilize them in your own way. <\/span><\/p>\n

Most importantly, it saves thousands of dollars as you need to pay a single time fee. <\/span><\/p>\n

Your own HIPAA\/PIPEDA\/PHIPA compliant telemedicine solution + compliance audit + custom on-site onboarding = complete peace of mind  <\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

We have not only developed a telemedicine app that provides virtual care, but we have developed a telemedicine solution that offers you peace of mind. <\/span><\/p>\n

From compliance to telemedicine hardware and software, we deliver, setup, and manage everything. <\/span><\/p>\n

Our vision is to make healthcare accessible to everyone from everywhere. Thus, our telehealth solution costs just under $25000. <\/span><\/p>\n

It is also highly customizable so that you don\u2019t have to bury your own ideas.<\/span><\/p>\n

We don\u2019t ask for any commitment to start the first conversation with our CEO and get the live demo of the app.<\/span><\/p>\n
