The new app AirPersons ‘Doctor Online’ lets you get medical advice online through video-chat

Thanks to the collaboration agreements with several Internet portals more than 10,000 physicians can now offer their services through videochat
 
LONDON - Aug. 22, 2014 - PRLog -- AirPersons has become a pioneer in online medical consultations via app for mobile phones with the launch of ‘Doctor Online Airpersons’.  It is the first app specifically design for physicians worldwide, with versions for Android and iPhone.

The app, available for IOS and Android and developed in Spain, allows to make online medical queries and receive guidance from a doctor using any smartphone, paying by the minute with no need of any other external application like Skype nor having to manage payment externally. The whole process is done by the system itself which also ensures full confidentiality of the user’s information.

Furthermore, AirPersons licenses its technology to other doctors sites and directories in Spain and abroad to offer video chat consultations. Thus, more than 10,000 physicians can provide medical advice online through video chat.

MEDICAL BENEFITS AND ADVANTAGES FOR PATIENTS

The keys to its success have been solving the problems posed by both patients and physicians and provide benefits for both.

Benefits for health professionals are numerous:

- The doctor does not need to have a physical office, which is a great saving. And in case they do it allows the professional offer their services on the move.

- If the doctor speaks more than one language, the app allows them to offer medical advice to patients from other countries. For example, in the USA the average price of a consultation is $100. The number of patients increases thus increasing profit.

- The risk of cancelled appointments decreases, because the client can start the consultation immediately on their smartphone.

Patients can also benefit for:

- Thanks to the time difference, it is always possible to find a doctor online, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

- Thanks to currency exchange the patient saves money. There are doctors who provide medical guidance from $5 an hour, which is less than 4 Euros. Besides the consultation is always charged by the minute.

- No need to displace yourself. Patients save time and money for not having to use public transportation or finding a parking spot. Furthermore, it is not necessary to arrive in advance and eliminates having to wait in a room with other patients.

- In remote places, where there isn’t a doctor present on a regular basis, a patient can make an inquiry without waiting for a doctor to move to his place.

DOCTORS AND PATIENTS, THE BEST SOURCE OF OPINION

In health care is common for patients to cancel their appointment or just don't visit the doctor for lack of time. Thanks to this platform and its apps for mobile phones, if the patient cannot attend, the consultation can take place through video-chat, so neither the patient nor the doctor lose the appointment previously booked.

Also, many consultations don't require being face-to-face. Many questions may be  answered without an exhaustive exploration, offering medical guidance through mobile phone. Thanks to this app from Airpersons these queries can be performed online.

Jean Charles Rauv, a user who has already received an online medical consultation using the app, shares his opinion with us: ”I'm usually very busy and do not always have time to go to the doctor's office. And at times I have to ask at work for off hours to attend the doctor's office. Thanks to this application I could perform a video-chat consultation at a very reduced price”.

A DOCTOR ON MOBILE YOUR ANYTIME

Thanks to the 'Doctor Online AirPersons' app anyone in need of medical counselling to a professional can receive it on their own phone through video-chat..

M. Lewis, Airpersons CEO, explains: “Health related Internet searches are skyrocketing. Through the 'Doctor Online Airpersons' app people can receive medical guidance by a professional and thus avoid self-diagnose”.

MEDICINE IN THE INTERNET AGE

The rise of the Internet and the use of smartphones has had its effect also in medicine, and today anyone can find an overwhelming amount of information related to this field. The main problem is that no matter how much information we can get, only a health care professional can accurately diagnose any problem or illness we are suffering.

According to the Code of Conduct for Health & Medicine Websites by the Health On The Net Foundation (HON), “Any medical or health advice suggested on the Internet should only be provided by a physicians or a specialized and qualified health professional, unless a clear statement expresses that the advice offered is not coming from a qualified health care professional or medical organization”.

The Code of Conduct adds: “The information provided is designed to support, not replace, the relationship between a patient and their doctor, and must respect the confidentiality relating to patients and visits, including the user's identity”.

This makes clear that the information available on the Internet should not be used to replace the diagnosis from a specialist. Many people use the information found on health websites to self-diagnose a health condition and its treatment, and that poses a risk to be avoided at all costs.

Unfortunately, the Internet is filled with information. Information that can be exchanged immediately. The time has come for health professionals to be the ones to create that information. That is the only real guarantee for patients. This app allows total interaction with the doctors offering their skills to make consultations through videochat on mobile phones.
