You have to look at where it is going to be used. Tele health does not have an X Ray , I presume', so this would diagnose whether you need antibiotics for a chest infection or hospitalization for Pneumonia and IV antibiotics. If you had a upper respiratory infection or a Viral infection, that is a cold or Flu you dont need antibiotics. I presume in the USA if you rang in sick they tell you to ring the Tele Health Doctor and he or she diagnoses you over the phone or face to face over the phone or computer. Thats when he or she can check your vital signs and get you to use Ress App to check your chest.This will come to Australia as well, it would be great in isolated parts of Australia.
Children with Asthma can be monitored if they are improving with their medications or if they are deteriorating and need to go to an emergency department, the same with the elderly with COPD or asthma.
In Third world countries there is limited X Ray so this would be a cheap life saver if they have the antibiotics or other drugs needed for Pneumonia, Croup, Asthma etc.
They are all ready way better than a Dr with a stethoscope from the trials.
If this continues with the results so far this is going to limit the amount of X Rays and radiation we need, blood tests for infection thereby lowering the cost of treatment for lots of individuals and company's, I dont imagine the Pathology and X Ray company's will be to happy about that.
The Motley fool has a lot to answer for if this is the reason for the share drop, I hope we have the last laugh.
I had to ring the wife who was out to get a backbone to hold today, but nothing has changed this works and will make a motza.

Probably a dumb question, Wazza,..but with the telehealth thing that is often discussed, ,,if the patient and doctor are miles from each other, how does the patient cough into the doctors phone? Its been bugging me for weeks.
Thanks
