"Telehealth Offers A Platform For Discussing Sensitive Health Issues" - Eric Wicklund
A Silicon Valley startup using telehealth to help men with erectile dysfunction is the latest example of a digital health platform being used to connect patients with providers to have discussions they might not have in person. Healthcare providers often see telehealth as an ideal platform for connecting with their patients on sensitive issues. "Some patients have been told it's a problem in their head so they suffer but don't follow up for years. Telehealth can increase
access to excellent sexual health care for men who have emotional or geographic barriers keeping them out of the office," added Doron Stember, MD, assistant professor of urology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. "But medications have real risks, and some patients have specific conditions that should be considered as part of treatment decisions. Patients should only use telehealth platforms that can provide the standard of individualized care they'd expect in specialists' offices.”
