Adolescence and Reproductive Health
Many teens feel shame and embarrassment when walking into a clinic for various reasons, including mental health and pregnancy. This shame may even lead some teens to neglect healthcare services for themselves or their children. Telehealth is a wonderful way to minimize shame teens may feel because they can check in with their doctor from the comfort of their homes.

Addiction
Telehealth is a great resource for checking in on rehabilitation progress. Medication reminders, exercise trackers and video calling with physicians and thereapists is a great asset for a recovering addict. Easy accessibility to help when needed also creates a safer healing environment.
