To call or not to call!? That is always the million dollar question when one of my children gets some funky rash, has a barky cough or is running a fever. I’m not sure about you, but I constantly question myself about whether my child is “sick” enough to drag into the doctor’s office. I have even been known to jump on a Skype call with my mom who lives 2 states away to get her “unprofessional” opinion on the matter. There is always the fear of being “that mom” who lugs her child into the doctor for the slightest runny nose. (Better safe then sorry right!?)
And what about when mom is the patient!? I’d honestly rather just suffer through the sore throat or splitting headache, then drag two kids into a doctor’s office and try to entertain them while waiting for the doctor. No thanks! However, it is important for us moms to take care of ourselves, so we can be the best moms we can and that means we need to be healthy!
What if instead of questioning yourself, getting grandma’s opinion, or suffering through the pain, you could simply call a virtual doctor to get their “professional” opinion through your computer or phone?
Amazing right? I am sure you all are thinking that just has to be too good to be true, but it’s not! Imagine meeting a doctor without ever having to leave your house or your PJs.
This is where telehealth services and Amwell save every mommy’s sick day!
Amwell is one of the leading teleheath services in the US. Their mission is to help busy moms when sickness strikes abruptly, by providing high quality, Board Certified licensed care (doctors, nutritionist, dieticians, psychologists, therapists and social workers) over desktop/mobile video in under 2 minutes. It’s literally as easy as typing in the symptom or the type of provider you are looking for and BOOM! you are connected to a professional in under the time it would take me to find my keys to drive there!
Not to mention the fact that Amwell also integrates with Apple’s Health App as the first telehealth mobile app, the only app given a name mention by Apple CEO, Tim Cook at Apple’s 2015 first quarter earnings call.
And if I haven’t peaked your interest in telehealth services, this last point is surely to convert you! As a frequent flyer of the ER for face lacerations, croup, vomiting newborns, etc. I quite literally cringe walking through the ER doors knowing the bill that is going to accompany the visit or dropping that hefty deductible. To say that I COMPLETELY appreciate the fact that a diagnosis from an Amwell physician comes with a reasonable price tag of $49 is an understatement. Yes, you read that right, $49!
