House Call

Understanding How Telemedicine is Poised to Transform Healthcare in Rural America and Beyond

About this book

What if there were a simple, low-cost way to bring medical care to the masses?

A method that did not involve the cost of setting up costly clinics?

In the United States, almost 50 percent of our population does not have adequate access to a mental health professional. Rural areas of the country are the most severely impacted. The shift to telemedicine is poised to provide a solution.

In this book, you'll learn about:

  • Telemedicine and how it is being implemented to combat lack of access to care in rural areas
  • The state of mental health in America
  • Leaders and innovators in the telemedicine space

House Call is for anyone that has a passion for technology, medicine, and improved access to medical care for all. You will find yourself inspired and empowered with tangible steps to help your local communities.
