WP: Physicians Use Photos From Patients' Cell Phones to Guide Healthcare
In this study, they found that 90% of diagnosis made by this method came out accurate!
What many people may not realize is that some form of "online" consultation including pictures is already being used by physicians including our practice!
At least in our practice, for security purposes, a patient can email us WITH picture attachment using our online email form. This technically can be done via cell phone, but must occur via our website.
Our practice has received over 100 emails in the past 6 months since it was first offered, 25% of which contained picture attachments (typically CT or MRI images).
