A physician telehealth expert talks disparities, advocacy, behavioral health and at-home labs

Dr. Kate Sowerwine, CMO at Recuro Health, highlights how telehealth can combat healthcare disparities, aid advocacy, enhance behavioral health, and facilitate home lab tests. She argues that it is particularly beneficial for patients who struggle with transportation, resources and understanding their healthcare. It also addresses gender and racial disparities in the health sector. Telemedicine can also help navigate the healthcare system, reduce cost and stress for patients and employers, and increase productivity. Mental health services via telemedicine and at-home labs are also crucial aspects of modern healthcare.
