So, how does telemedicine relate to the trucking industry?
Over the road truck drivers have tight schedules and are obviously traveling a lot. Being away from home and on the road for the majority of their time can make it difficult for a driver to get the care they need. Several studies show truck drivers have a higher risk for certain illnesses, injuries, and health problems. Smoking, sitting for long periods of time, unhealthy eating habits, working long hours, and lack of sleep lead truck drivers to a greater risk of illness and diseases.
Although telemedicine is not the solution for chronic health problems, it can help identify common health conditions and refer you to a specialst. For common, non-chronic health problems like cold & flu, respiratory infections, urinary infections, rashes, poison ivy, and bronchitis, telemedicine is the perfect solution for busy truck drivers because you can speak with a physician or licensed health therapist at any time and anywhere in the United States.
4 Reasons You Need Telemedicine
1. Telemedicine protects you from unnecessary exposure to harmful and contagious germs.
The technology of telemedicine allows the patient to receive 100% of the care and advice needed over the phone or through HIPAA compliant teleconference systems eliminating the need to visit an actual office location. This limits your risk and exposure to other contagious patients and germs. With the covid-19 worldwide pandemic, it is more important than ever to utilize technology to keep you and your family healthy.
