The use of technological resources is revolutionizing the health sector, especially in the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic. One of the main developments without a doubt is linked to telemedicine.
Telemedicine is defined as the exercise of medicine mediated by technologies for the purposes of assistance, research, disease and injury prevention and health promotion. About a year ago, Law 13.989/2020 was enacted and provides for the use of telemedicine during the crisis caused by the coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) in Brazil. The regulation is authorized on an emergency basis, therefore, it is extremely important to remember that an amendment with an extension of the term or the creation of a new law will still be necessary to continue the measure.
The pandemic only accelerated the digital transformation in the healthcare sector. It was in this concept that Duodoctor, a company founded in 2020, joined forces through the partnership of a group of experts, with the mission of promoting health, through care services and intelligent platforms.
The company has a telemedicine platform that is fully prepared to offer quality virtual care to the population, ensuring more agility and efficiency in primary and specialized care and, at this moment, mainly in the demand related to coronaviruses. Duodoctor’s solution is designed by a team of doctors and nurses with over 30 years of clinical experience and supported by cutting-edge technology in a digital platform and omnichannel.
Telemedicine has not only changed the way in which care is provided, but it has significantly changed health care. With the support of technological tools, patients, health professionals and managers were able to continue access, management and care, even during the period of social distance. In other words, more innovation, efficiency and agility in the sector.
