I am in a Medicine and Media class at my university and we have spent a considerable amount of time talking about the effects of new mediums through which patients and physicians can engage. “FaceTalk” are products like it are going to reshape how medicine is practiced. The examples of the doctors in the Netherlands performing consultations through this computer application epitomize how technology is shaping medicine and ultimately how it will lead to the globalization of medicine. In our class, we discussed the importance of collaboration between patients and physicians and I truly believe that “FaceTalk” is a step in the right direction. The ability for multiple parties to take part in a video consultation further enhances the ability to collaborate and fully equip patients with multiple perspectives without having to make individual appointments with each of the physicians. Furthermore, it provides physicians the ability to securely collaborate on patients, even if they are on opposite sides of the world.<br /><br />Now, my question is whether the virtual doctor’s appointment can truly replace a visit to the doctor’s office. Where does the physical exam and data collected through this medium fit in to the picture? Or is this a way for doctors to follow up with patients after initial visits?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32053362.post-52134701008811227162012-11-26T21:23:29.891-05:002012-11-26T21:23:29.891-05:00Back tomorrow.Back tomorrow.Paul Levyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17065446378970179507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32053362.post-42338789441887090212012-11-26T21:14:44.923-05:002012-11-26T21:14:44.923-05:00what happened to the post about the phones at Loga...what happened to the post about the phones at Logan hotel?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
