Telemedicine 2.0"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p><strong>In 2020<\/strong> &#8211; telemedicine was all about video calls between physicians and patients.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In 2021<\/strong> &#8211; telemedicine was all about streamlining entire clinical workflows.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In 2022<\/strong> &#8211; telemedicine is all about 360-degree care solutions including eCommerce stores for medical devices, drugs and wellness products!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the question is,&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>How did telemedicine emerge from video chat to eCommerce solutions?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we move forward, it is worth discussing what a 360-degree care solution means.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Unlike typical telemedicine solutions, 360-degree telemedicine solutions enable patients to \u2013<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Book the virtual appointment&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Get ePrescription&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Get sick notes<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Get drugs and wellness products from the same platform itself via built-in eCommerce features&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">This way, a telemedicine eCommerce platform streamlines the entire care delivery process from \u2013 appointment to prescription to drugs and wellness products delivery.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>How the concept of telemedicine eCommerce emerged from nowhere?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">In 2020, people adopted telemedicine to a great extent and its startup market heated up to its peak.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To survive the competitive market, many new and existing virtual care startups added several new features to their telemedicine products.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Things went so extreme that now there are many telemedicine apps with integrated eCommerce capabilities.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And people are loving it now.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because if you see, they don\u2019t just want medical consultation from a telemedicine app.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">They also want to purchase drugs and wellness products from the same platform with the same comfort too.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Hims and Hers is the best example of telemedicine eCommerce&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Hims and Hers is the most innovative and strategically executed telemedicine startup.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hims .Inc is a telemedicine company that runs two separate brands \u2013 Hims for men and Hers for women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It offers virtual care and personal care product solutions for \u2013 hair loss to skincare and mental health to sexual health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">And it is the fastest startup to earn a unicorn status after a mobility startup named Bird.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the reasons why Hims and Hers earned the unicorn status is because it is not just limited to telemedicine.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">It also provides healthcare eCommerce services from its platform.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">But it also sells several men\u2019s wellness and women\u2019s wellness products.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following are some of them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1153\" height=\"380\" src=\"https:\/\/www.syscreations.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-14.png\" alt=\"Hims and Hers\" class=\"wp-image-31769\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>How does telemedicine eCommerce improve care experience and revenue at the same time?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s understand it with a simple example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Scenario-1: No eCommerce capabilities<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A patient comes on your platform for virtual doctor consultation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The physician assesses the patient and writes the ePrescription.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because there are no eCommerce capabilities, the patient has to visit the nearest pharmacy store or online pharmacy to get drugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At some point, it&#8217;s inconvenient, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Scenario-2: Telemedicine with eCommerce capabilities<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A patient comes on your app for online consultation solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The doctor assesses the patient and writes an ePrescription note.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now because telemedicine is integrated with eCommerce, the patient needs to follow a few steps to get medicines at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Find and select the drug as per the prescription note<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Upload prescription note in a form of an image or PDF<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Order the medicines<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can clearly see that it saves their time and is a much more convenient option for them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">On the other hand, this helps you enhance customer loyalty and generates one more revenue stream for you!&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hims and Hers are doing exactly the same thing and that\u2019s why they are a unicorn telemedicine startup!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1><strong>How to integrate eCommerce with telemedicine?<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>When you integrate eCommerce with a telemedicine app, the app would have extra features that enable your users to buy the products you are selling through the app.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More particularly, your telemedicine app would get the following features:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.syscreations.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/features.png\" alt=\"Telemedicine eCommerce app features\" class=\"wp-image-31770\" width=\"548\" height=\"548\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">And to integrate eCommerce with telemedicine \u2013 you have two options.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can either,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Integrate 3rd-party eCommerce platform<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Integrate all eCommerce features in telemedicine by hiring experts<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Now the question is, which one is best for you and your app users?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Look, 3rd-party eCommerce platforms such as Shopify and WooCommerce do not offer you the eCommerce features you wish to add to your telemedicine app.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, you also need to pay monthly or yearly fees to 3rd-party eCommerce solutions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast, first, you need to pay an app agency to integrate a 3rd-party eCommerce platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then paying monthly fees to a 3rd-party eCommerce platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Isn&#8217;t that a rational idea at all?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Thus, the most workable solution here is \u2013 hire an app agency!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because it charges you one time to integrate all custom eCommerce features into your telemedicine app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most importantly, it also addresses your unique needs, supports custom workflows and does not put compliance readiness at risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>What can you sell online through your telemedicine eCommerce platform?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large

height=\"394\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>If you are planning to sell medical drugs \u2013 you must integrate Kroll with your telemedicine platform&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Kroll is the most popular pharmacy management solution in Canada.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">It supports e-refills, viewing medication lists, checking prices after insurance, single-click patient data, drug details, drug inventory management etc.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get instant access to these features and drug &amp; patient data, you should integrate Kroll into your telemedicine app.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You should read this<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.syscreations.ca\/blog\/kroll-integration\/\" target=\"_blank\"
