Telemedicine for Dermatologists App Features

Posted by parthpatel on March 23rd, 2021

Telemedicine has been in existence for many years. But it was not popular until 2020 when the pandemic hit us. 

The COVID-19 pandemic pushed the virtual care delivery approach using the telemedicine platform to its peak. 

With patients avoiding visits to clinics over the fear of coronavirus, the healthcare providers including dermatologists have felt the urgent need of adopting telemedicine solutions. 

As of now, all major dermatology clinics are providing care using virtual and remote care delivery approaches and it has been very successful. 

However, the majority of them still struggle when it comes to deciding the telemedicine solutions based on its features set. Because not all telemedicine platforms are equipped with useful and purposeful features. 

The following is the list of top features you should look into telemedicine for dermatologists solutions. 

  • Appointment booking: 

This is the most basic requirement of any telemedicine solution. With this, patients can schedule an appointment with dermatologists for virtual video consultation. 

This feature should automatically send appointment details to both care providers and patients in email and SMS. 

  • Pre-visit questionnaire: 

The care providers should be able to send a customized pre-visit questionnaire to patients to get a better idea of patients' current healthcare status and allergies. 

  • Video call/voice call/chat: 

Patients should be able to talk to dermatologists via video call, voice call and chat. They should also be able to select the preferred communication medium. 

  • ePrescription: 

The dermatologists should be able to write the prescription and share it with the preferred pharmacy of the patients. 

  • Medical notes: 

During the ongoing video consultation, the dermatologist should have the access to the screen where he can write the medical notes very easily. 

  • Follow up meetings: 

There should be a feature that enables patients to book follow-up meetings with the same dermatologists.
