Digital healthcare has grown over the past few years – accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic, to become a core feature of many clinical institutions’ mode of operation.
However, it’s essential that physicians don’t lose sight of maintaining the human experience, something so important in providing patient reassurance and helping to overcome any ethical concerns.
NOW-fertility believes that technology has a major role to play in offering patients much greater support than face-to-face consultations alone can provide, while at the same time also supporting practitioners and their teams by creating greater efficiencies.
In some areas of medicine, and when direct contact for examinations and/or procedures is not required, virtual healthcare is likely to offer the same continuity of care with the advantage of reducing stress, shortening timescales, reducing the need for time off work and travel as well as costs, and empowering patients to take more control of their own healthcare journeys.
In fact, what was once a futuristic idea of virtual healthcare provision, is now contextualised in the every day reality of our technology-centric lives.
When NOW-fertility launches in Spring next year, it will unveil a game-changing, new digital platform platform that is set to revolutionise the assisted conception journey – for individuals, couples, and clinics.
A central feature of NOW-fertility’s service will be, when appropriate, virtual IVF consultations, appointments, telephone and online guidance. This will mean fewer clinic visits, so less time off work or travelling.
And to further make the IVF journey smoother, less stressful and time-consuming, some investigations, ultrasound scans and blood tests can be conducted close to patients’ homes or work using our network of approved, outstanding satellite clinics.
Offering an online IVF service will also enable us to not only provide 24/7 multi-lingual support & advice, but also to guarantee response times to patient queries, meaning greater peace-of-mind and fewer stressful situations.
