Healthcare is no longer confined to hospital walls or waiting rooms. From smartwatches that detect heart issues to apps that deliver real therapy, technology is flipping the script on how we stay healthy. In this fast-paced and witty deep dive, we explore the rise of remote patient monitoring, advanced wearables, personalized treatments, and digital therapeutics—and why the doctor of the future might already be on your wrist.
I used ChatGPT-4o, ScreenPal, and Pictory.ai to put this information together.

Not in this neck of the woods - there is literally no chance to see the doctor, live or via an app. I manage an Annual appointment to see one of the Practice (as in not a trainee) Nurse.
I’ve not been a fan of smart watches (for many, many years) with short battery life. So really it isn’t your doctor you are seeing, just what the app interprets and you have to try and get a live visit to report what the smart watch reports.

e-Visit’s here are fairly easy to get. In person usually takes a while unless it’s an emergency. There’s also a difference between the kind of healthcare available in this country and yours. As long as we stay healthy, seeing a doctor isn’t that important except for getting our needed medication.
We’re still living in the dark ages in the UK.
You can get online for many things but not e-visit, but then for the most part everyone is covered by the NHS (National Health Service), a free service. I don’t know if that would change if you had private medical insurance, etc.
My health insurance isn’t free. That’s probably what makes the difference.
