Online Video Consultations with Doctors

BANGALORE, India - Jan. 20, 2015 - PRLog -- Looking for an easy way to follow-up with your physician, but want to avoid long commutes and hospital waits? Then Video Consultations is just the thing for you. Schedule an appointment with your doctor and consult with them via video.

ContinuousCare is a web and mobile app developed by NeedStreet, a Bangalore-based online healthcare company. The company improves the accessibility of healthcare by bringing users and their doctors together on a secure platform where they can communicate and engage.

With Video Consultations, users can communicate with doctors, wherever they may be located. An added advantage to Video Consultations on ContinuousCare is the fact that doctors can access their patient's PHR or personal health records, during a video session. Users can save details about their medications, treatments, health conditions, allergies, vaccinations and medical reports, which will be available to the doctor during the Video Consultation. This provides doctors with a comprehensive understanding of their patient's health, allowing them to make better medical decisions for their patients. Doctors can also make changes to medications or treatments during the Video Consultation.

Doctors can provide Video Consultations once they set up their Virtual Practice. The Virtual Practice is an online and mobile application which allows healthcare providers to engage with patients. They can define suitable timings for Video Consultations, ensuring their clinic schedule isn't affected. Doctors can also specify consultation fees for Video Consultation, which users can pay online, through the Virtual Practice. After a video session, a detailed consultation summary is sent to the patient, which includes billing, prescription and notes about the consultations. Doctors can also book follow-up appointments and remote monitoring packages for their patients.

Currently, Video Consultations is only available on the web version of ContinuousCare, and will soon be added to the mobile app. To view a list of doctors offering Video Consultations, visit https://www.needstreet.com/secure/user/videoConsultations.
