The digital wave isn't just for shopping or socializing—it's changing healthcare. As a functional medicine professional, recognizing and hopping onto this wave—especially telehealth—is crucial.
The Rise of Telehealth
Remember when doctor-patient interactions were only face-to-face? Those days are behind us. Today, thanks to technology, we're seeing a significant shift in healthcare—consultations, prescriptions, and follow-ups can now happen virtually.
Recent years have shown a surge in adopting digital healthcare. National telehealth utilization increased 7.3% in January 2023. And this shift isn't just a passing trend. Global situations, like pandemics, highlight the need for minimal physical contact, making virtual consultations more relevant than ever.

Moving to a digital-first approach might seem daunting, but there are solutions for every concern:
-
Technological Barriers: Not all of us are tech-savvy. But no worries—Well ProZ offers intuitive interfaces and even provides training sessions to help you get accustomed to the platform.
-
Patient Rapport: Building trust online might seem tricky. However, with consistent virtual interactions and clear communication, we can foster strong and meaningful relationships with our patients utilizing Well ProZ to book consultations and send follow-up recommendations.
