Telemedicine is a growing aspect of the health sciences. do you think physicians can effectively diagnose and treat patients through telemedicine? why or why not? should telemedicine be used in areas like psychology or psychiatry? why or why not?

If given the right health history, lab testa, health statistics and other aspects, telemedicine can effectively diagnose. This also provides opportunity for patients to have an easier access to medical services, especially those who are located in distance. However, one precaution that I think needs to be considered is to conduct a face-to-face follow-up with a doctor but this time, it shouldn't be a regular visit anymore that's too time-consuming and costly for the patient. This is vital as well for patients who can't walk or travel due to their condition. It will not only provide comfortability but will also increase the chance for a patient to seek other medical advices from various experts. With the advancement of technology, this is the future of medicine and as any technology, it will continue to progress in an aim to customized and improve a patient's experience.

It would also create an opportunity if this is applied in of psychology or psychiatry, especially for patients with severe mental or personality conditions. The fact that it's difficult to bring someone to a psychologist to get an advice, this is a better environment for them. It would let them feel just like chatting someone from a far, which is better than feeling sick and consulted on an actual hospital.
