Respiratory disease, which is commonly associated with lung disease, includes a group of diseases that disrupt lung function by involving part or parts of the respiratory system. Lung medicine or pulmonology is a medical specialty that deals with diseases involving the respiratory tract .  Pulmonary disorders include, but are not limited to, chronic obstructive pulmonary  disease (COPD)  , asthma, and pneumonia. Traditionally, multiple visits are required for care and follow-up. For lung patients with respiratory problems, they can now access a pulmonologist through  Telepulmonology   without having to travel long distances or travel extensively.

Telepulmonology  practically connects pulmonologists with remote patients.

Tele pulmonologyis a remote health care service that allows pulmonologists to experience physician-patient visits with patients who do not have access to a pulmonologist (distance, etc.). Instead, the patient experiences a two-way, high-quality online online visit in real-time, with high-quality audio and video remote healthcare technology.

In rural areas, most people need a specialist, and lung specialization is one of these required specialties, and patients who need non-emergency lung care often have to spend a lot of time and money traveling long distances each time they visit. With  Telepulmonology  , patients can access a local pulmonologist without travel.

 How does telepulmonology work?

With a telemedicine program like TeleVisit24,  patients can remotely  experience a pulmonologist to assess their health status (test results, medication review, etc.) to treatment (receiving new medication, medical advice, prescribing new tests).
