Telehealth involves the use of electronic communications to enable healthcare providers at different locations to share individual patient medical information for the purpose of improving patient care. Telehealth services also include remote monitoring, tele-pharmacy, prescription refills, appointment scheduling, regional health information sharing, and non-clinical services, such as education programs, administration, and public health. Doko MD (Doko Medical Inc.) providers may include primary care practitioners, specialists, and/or subspecialists. The information may be used for diagnosis, therapy, follow-up and/or education, and may include any combination of the following: (1) patient medical records; (2) medical images; (3) live two-way audio and video; (4) interactive audio; and (5) output data from medical devices and sound and video files.


Electronic systems used will incorporate network and software security protocols to protect the confidentiality of patient identification and imaging data and will include measures to safeguard the data and to ensure its integrity against intentional or unintentional corruption.


Primary responsibility for your medical care should remain with your local primary care doctor, if you have one. Your primary care doctor should also maintain responsibility for your medical record as well.


Expected Benefits:


  • Improved access to medical care by enabling you to remain in your local healthcare site (i.e. home) while the provider consults and obtains test results at distant/other sites.
  • More efficient medical evaluation and management.
  • Obtaining expertise of a specialist.

Possible Risks:


  • Delays in medical evaluation and treatment could occur due to deficiencies or failures of the equipment and technologies.
  • In rare events, the provider may determine that the transmitted information is of inadequate quality, thus necessitating a rescheduled telehealth consult or a face- to-face meeting with your local primary care doctor.
  • In very rare events, security protocols could fail, causing a breach of privacy of personal medical information.

In rare events, a lack of access to complete medical records may result in adverse drug interactions or allergic reactions or other judgment errors.
