The interest in and use of medical video consultations has increased dramatically in recent months. Telemedical consultations via the portal jameda.de are also in demand like never before. From March 2020 to June 2021, digital doctor visits increased forty-fold compared to the same period in 2018 to 2019, two years earlier. The Corona Lockdown has really fueled online doctor visits. However, the numbers have remained constant since then, as shown by an analysis of comparative data from March to June 2020 and 2021.
CEO Dr. Florian Weiß believes that demand will continue and perhaps even increase because Germans are becoming more accepting. Accordingly, the doctor-patient relationship would have gained even more quality with the help of the video consultation.
Both initial consultation appointments and follow-up appointments can be booked via the jameda portal. jameda users do not need any special software, only a smartphone or a laptop/PC, a webcam, and internet access. Appointments can be booked with doctors and health professionals from a wide range of disciplines. Among them, the most popular health care providers during the pandemic were internists and general practitioners and psychotherapists, surgeons, and dentists. Online consultations are also possible with ophthalmologists, gynecologists, dermatologists, neurologists, ENT specialists, urologists, etc.
