Why Innovative Uses of Telehealth Should Be Championed | Christine Zack | TEDxReno

[MadDragon]

My first telehelth appointment was over a decade ago, to get my prescription for cannabis.
I was amazed and impressed somebody thought of it.

Health education must be expanded, this is better than taking drug-based medications.

We are responsible for our healthcare.
Avoid others ruining our health
Health knowledge is cheaper than buying medicine

[omaraweis]

When you having interview with someone it is not good to look the camera
Because camera is not talking to you the reporter is talking to you.

[ARasputinaFan]

This increase in telehealth is increasing the divide between classes as the poor often don't have internet, computers, smart phones, or sometimes even a private phone to receive a confidential medical call. Medicaid and Medicare were the last on board with approving telehealth during COVID. At least they waived the copays for now; it's sad when you don't have the $3 copay to see your doctor when you need to. Same with the kids who couldn't do their school work because they didn't have internet, or educated/supportive parents, or parents who work 2 & 3 jobs and couldn't be involved.

I stopped listening when I heard her say "the corporate side of healthcare."

[lawrencegroves]

They are already providing high speed internet to rural areas via hot air balloons with Loon LLC . If there is a demand the people will find a way to deliver. Drones or blimps would probably work well too.

We used to pump quarters into telephone booths to make phone calls so should we continue to monetize the internet? It is a necessary form of communication almost in any major city nowadays.

Thank you so much for talking about the usefulness of telehealth. Very informative. Lovely watching and listening to you here on the top of the mountain of Italy.

She is reading from the tele-prompt that’s why she is not facing the interviewer. This is a staged interview where questions are scripted as well. I don’t understand why people are triggered by the word “corporate.” Most healthcare providers and payers are run as for profit corporate entities, ones that run as non-profit while provide more affordable services their status exempt them from paying taxes which is the money that funds government initiatives. If you listen closely, all she said is that due to COVID, the government has temporary expended coverage for telehealth services, she argues to expand on permanent basis. She also mentioned one care service and an example that are better off with telemedicine like prevention care. Not the best Ted Talk, but she made her point short and clear.

🦋there are so many problems with health care - so good to have an advocate that knows first hand

[juanbancalero]

Through Telehealth, the doctor says: Please, send me your liver in a cool carboard box. When I have studied your problem I will send it back with some pills.

[angrytedtalks]

US healthcare surprisingly sucks.
Telephone healthcare is over 120 years old in the UK.

[leviathania]

Who else read 'Telepath' first?

[lynnrussell]

Another ad for mechanizing - de humanizing - life experience. Humans cannot replace The Maker. Some help from telehealth may be helpful, however, I like meeting people face to face. Years ago they taught us to be afraid of the sun, now they teach us to be afraid of people !!! :-#/

[adoxartist]

Welcome to finally understanding what we little peons have been telling y'all for years.

[SGliderGuy]

High speed internet for rural areas is right around the corner. It's called "Starlink" Thank you, Elon Musk

[ynihynih]

Perhaps calling your doctors can finish most of all diagnoses.

[roxsanaherrera]

Listening to her was physically painful

[prettyprudent]

Health? She’s so overweight that she can barely cross her legs. Soon enough, it will be difficult for her to bathe properly...

[deviousxen]

Microsoft Teams is still the absolute worst turd of a service ever.

And they should all just be one damned portal.
