Technology-Based Applications: Telemedicine

As technologies advance, therapy professionals saw opportunities and benefits it can bring to their area of expertise. Being able to call or have a video conference can allow both the consumers and the healthcare provider limited by remote or rural areas to gain access to mental health professionals and patients. Telemedicine enables consulting providers to speak to their patients in real time, and in some cases even observe their patients more or less directly. It can also be used in education and training programs for generalist clinicians.
