• You can make an estimation based on your exercise and diet of how much insulin you need.
• Easy access to ordering medical supplies while staying in comfort.
• Scheduling appointments, checking test results, requesting prescriptions, or directly contacting your doctor for a query.
• Get email, text, or phone reminders when you need a flu shot, foot exam, or other preventive care.
Goals of TeleHealth
Star Billing Solutions aim with their TeleHealth technology is to improve the quality of the healthcare system and make it easily accessible for patients.
Our goal with TeleHealth is to provide the best way to cater healthcare needs of people who live in rural and isolated areas with no Medical care nearby. And to provide convenience to people with limited time, mobility, or transportation options. Moreover, we want to give all healthcare centers opportunities to work efficiently, with better coordination from anywhere at any time.
