3. Don’t stress about the technology.

It is easy to get anxious about whether you will need to troubleshoot if there is a problem with the technology before or during the call. But it is important not to worry.

Before the telemedicine visit make sure you have all the right software on your computer, phone or tablet. Don’t be shy to ask for help if you need it. Another thing to check before the appointment is that your devices are charged, the volume is at an appropriate level and the microphone picks up your voice clearly. We advise you to sign in for your appointment early to ensure everything is working properly.

Remember, if something happens with the video you can always jump on a call with your doctor to make the most of your time.
