Telehealth Saskatchewan uses information technology to link patients to health care from a distance.

Using advanced two-way videoconferencing equipment Telehealth Saskatchewan provides access to specialized medical care for patients living in rural and remote areas. You may also be able to see a specialist from another province using Telehealth technology if that specialist service is not offered in Saskatchewan.

During a Telehealth appointment, the patient is able to see, hear and talk to their health care provider. This is similar to seeing the doctor on TV but patients can talk with him or her. A health care provider, such a nurse may also be present in the room to assist the patient and the doctor at the other end.

By using this technology, health professionals from almost anywhere can see and examine patients living in remote communities just as if they were in the same room.

Telehealth consultations are growing more popular throughout the world as they provide greater access to health care.
