Telehealth: Yale Specialty Care, From Home

Yale Medicine Telehealth is at the forefront of innovative and convenient ways for you to connect with your doctor using your tablet, mobile phone, or computer. Your referring physician is also able to communicate directly with Yale Medicine specialists and remotely share images, electronic medical records, and other tools to help examine, diagnose, and treat you, as well as provide you with continuous follow-up care for your medical condition.

From video visits to remote patient monitoring, we are excited to provide specialty health care to our patients in the ways that are most convenient for them. Telehealth programs have grown nationwide, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, and we plan continued expansion of Yale Medicine’s telehealth service offerings.

RPM is the sharing of medical information outside of traditional health care settings. RPM uses technology to collect medical and other forms of health data from you as our patient and electronically transmit that information securely to your provider for monitoring, assessment, and recommendations.
