From Marketplace Tech: “One of the drawbacks to a telehealth platform is there isnā€™t the ability for human interaction in the way that you could in a counseling session. Thereā€™s something to be said for just being in the presence of another person. Thereā€™s definitely something different about it. It feels a little more distant, a little more cold. When weā€™re able to provide those in-person counseling sessions, many times, now, a part of that session includes being able to chat with family members. Itā€™s wonderful that we have technology to introduce into those counseling sessions, because many of the people in our nursing facilities who are receiving care donā€™t have smart technology.”
