Current Technology Week 8

Juliana Manzo For those who can't find a ride to get to a doctors office or don't have the time in their schedule to make it there, they now have videoconferencing with a doctor by making a Telehealth appointment. In this appointment it will be much like the way it is when you are at the doctors office. They will ask you why you made this appointment, the symptoms you have, if you have had any treatment done and if you have had these symptoms in the past. This new technology is great especially for elderly people who need assistance but can't find a way to get there. https://health.usnews.com/health-care/for-better/articles/2017-09-28/4-steps-for-a-successful-telehealth-appointment
