What is telemedicine?

Telemedicine is a modern form of medical service delivery that uses information and communication technologies to put patients in remote contact with a doctor or specialist. It enables diagnosis, health monitoring and treatment without the need for physical presence in a medical facility, which is particularly important in situations of limited access to health care. Thanks to telemedicine, it is possible to respond quickly to patient needs, improve access to specialists and increase the efficiency of the healthcare system.

Why has telemedicine gained so much popularity?

At Baka Clinic, we efficiently combine medical services with the field of information technology and telecommunications, so that each of our patients is guaranteed precise treatment planning and, in the case of implementation of medications, will receive the necessary e-prescription. Telemedicine is defined as the general activities of medical personnel carried out remotely with the use of ICT systems – and the consultations themselves can take place either by telephone or through an Internet connection. Typically, patients choose a voice call, online video, chat or the aforementioned phone call.

In addition to classic visits, other forms of telemedicine – such as telemonitoring, i.e. monitoring of vital signs at a distance, or telerehabilitation based on remote assistance of a physiotherapist regarding exercises performed – are also widely used. Since telemedicine is subject to the same rules and requirements as in its classic form – the effectiveness and safety of treatment is at an equally high level.

During each visit, medical records are also compiled, so there are no problems with a possible return to checks made in person.

Remote treatment is of great value especially for the elderly or patients with chronic diseases, as it guarantees the availability of medical advice at any time without having to leave home and move around, which can be very difficult in the elderly.

Baka Clinic in Swinoujscie offers telemedicine services, which are primarily used for treatment planning in both dental and aesthetic medicine areas. In addition, specialist consultations at a distance are the best possible way for regular follow-ups after treatment.
