Provinces across Canada are engaging in dialogue and asking for support as our health system faces an emergency and primary care crisis. Teladoc Health is increasingly being asked to support provincially funded care delivery and as such is further building up clinical teams across the country.

The technology features a high-definition camera to recreate a doctor-patient experience when conducting visual examinations, a four-speaker audio system for clear dialogue, and the ability to connect to peripherals which facilitate virtual assessments, such as stethoscopes, otoscopes, and hand-held exam cameras. The remote device also features a hand-held receiver for private conversations with onsite staff.
