What is a telehealth dietitian service?
A telehealth dietitian service is nothing but the remote delivery of dietitian services using telecommunication technologies such as voice calls and video calls.
In order to provide telehealth dietitian services, the dietitian and his customer or patient both need to have important telehealth resources such as an uninterrupted internet connection, telehealth tool, app or software, and mobile or computer devices such as a tablet, smartphone, computer or laptop.

You must have a question that why I should develop or deploy a dedicated telehealth dietitian tool when there are many third-party free video calling apps available. The following are the top reasons for simply avoiding free video calling tools.
