The patient will not be alone in front of his screen
To facilitate access to care, the patient will not be alone in front of their screen. He would be greeted by a nurse, who will be able to take the constants. The doctor will then be able to listen remotely if there is a heart difficulty. “I think it’s a good idea to have a doctor on hand before you leave for work.”, says a woman. These teleconsultation booths could be put in place by 2028.
