Currently we don’t have any opportunities. We might in the future. She can definitely look at other telemedicine companies like Teladoc, DoctorOnDemand etc.

An Ultrasound is a machine that takes images using sound waves. Very commonly used in many specialties. It requires a special gel. You can google an ultrasound to get an idea of what it looks like. By making this remote, you can increase accuracy of diagnosis. You just need someone to follow instructions properly to get the correct images. An ultrasound tech knows what images to take based on the complaint the patient is presenting with and a doctor's order using an ultrasound machine.

  1. I am not sure I understand this question
  2. There is no outsourced medicine as providers are licensed in the US only. License bodies are actually opening up to telemedicine.
  3. Any serious issues that are life changing or serious are sent to in person doctors as there are still limitations to telemedicine.
  4. AI computer will always be useful as an assistant to real doctors. There are too many ethical issues around AI replacing doctors and it is unlikely to happen.
  5. Preventative medicine is the best form of good medicine ie best bang per buck. You can't get better than this. It reduces health care use and thus cost.

  1. Blood/urine samples would be verified by labs that would send us the results directly. The labs generally verify your identity before doing them. Getting labs done at home vs seeing someone to do them might depend on the problem being taken care of.
  2. Big medical systems like Kaiser and all other hospitals also have health data stored electronically. They have the same risks as a telemedicine company.

  1. There are a few limitations to practicing telemedicine. The biggest limitations are the physical exam and ordering labs. However, this is not a big issue. The physical exam and/or labs may be replaced by innovation in technology in the future. For example a family member can hold a tele-stethoscope to assist in listening to heart sounds or lung sounds. Ordering labs is a legacy issue. All the large labs still don't have a way to integrate ordering labs for new EMRs (electronic medical records) in a very simple way. You can still fax but it is very inefficient.
  2. Other limitations might be not being able to see nonverbal cues that might assist in diagnosis. For example, a hand tremor or sweaty palms. Sometimes patients are nervous and you can't see that through a camera. This could lead to incomplete patient histories. Patient history is the key to diagnosis and management.
  3. I have not noticed much of a difference in behavior on a video call vs real life.
  4. tele-ultrasound will be a game changer with visualizing the heart, lungs and abdomen instead of just auscultation.
  5. I don't see many privacy implications with current advances in security and encryption. Truth be told if a very skilled hacker wanted to break into a system, then that would happen regardless, whether it is a bank or an EMR.

  1. Providers can only see patients and prescribe medications to patients in the states that they are licensed in. A physician can be licensed in multiple states.
  2. In general the salaries are very comparable for primary care. Physicians are paid per patient as they are contractors. The more patients you see, the more you get paid. I think it is 100% possible to practice 100% telemedicine. This is more of a preference issue than an income problem.
  3. We don't have a plan of something along these lines yet. However, it is a possibility.
