Online disease diagnosis
Print Edition
THE nation’s first e-system for skin disease diagnosis and treatment was launched yesterday by Shanghai Skin Disease Hospital.
By installing a smart-phone application, patients can talk to a doctor, get an electronic prescription, pay bills and request the home delivery of medicine. Skin diseases are ideally suited for online diagnosis and treatment because doctors can see the symptoms, said the hospital, adding that in about 90 percent of cases, online service delivery is as effective as face-to-face. “Trial of the system found each skin disease patient can save over 100 minutes compared with a hospital visit,” said Dr Tan Jiangping, hospital vice president.
