Kaiser Telehealth
With Kaiser Telehealth, you can use everyday devices like your smartphone, laptop, or tablet to get care outside of where your typical care team is physically located.
Telehealth usually means connecting virtually with a health care professional while you’re out in the real world, such as in your backyard, at the park, or at the beach. However, telehealth can take place during office visits, too, like when your doctor consults with a specialist in another room or facility.
