Hi there!
This is Sasa, your Health Assistant from Treat at Home. In this post, let’s get to know about the advantages of home doctor visits. Guess what? Doctor visit at home is not a new thing to us. In 1960’s and early 70’s, it was very common in practice. We might have seen in many old movies, the doctor visiting patients at home with a briefcase to treat many kinds of illness.
After 1970’s, it was transformed completely into getting treated at hospitals even for very minor illness. Now, with the raising effect of pandemic, doctors have started visiting patients at their homes to bring safe and convenient healthcare. The advancement in modern technology powered platforms like “Treat at Home App” are a boon to this situation.

Convenience

Once you feel sick, you have to pick a vehicle and take yourself or your loved ones to visit a doctor at their clinic. Additionally, there may be some appointments there, so you would have to wait for a while to consult the doctor. If a doctor visits you at home, you don’t need to wait at a clinic, instead, they visit you at your home and it is super convenient during sick days. Furthermore, if you are having kids or elder people at home, waiting for prolonged hours at the hospital will be a complete hassle.
