This 35-minute video lesson is from a Senior Planet course for older adult caregivers and recipients of care. The lesson explains what to expect from a telehealth visit. You’ll also learn about safe websites that you can use to learn about your health, order prescription medications, and more.
Please remember that websites and platforms change over time, so some images of web resources in the video may differ slightly from their current look. To access the mental health resource covered in the video through How Right Now from the CDC, go to cdc.gov/howrightnow instead of the website given in the video.
The platforms used for telehealth visits work very similarly to Zoom and other video chat platforms. The main difference is that they are more secure and HIPAA compliant. Video chatting on Zoom can help you feel more comfortable with the tech when it comes time for your telehealth visit. Visit Senior Planet’s Zoom resource page for tutorials and more videos on using Zoom!
