It is said that prevention is better than the cure. Annual check-ups, a set of tests and routine investigations mean more than just taking care of your health: they actually mean taking care of your future. Sometimes, due to our busy schedules, we tend to leave these investigations on the back burner. Online consultations can be the perfect solution. From the comfort of your home, you can get in touch with a specialist who can give you expert advice and explain the results of the tests you have taken. Here is how online interpretation of test results helps you and what advantages it brings you.
You have probably been in a situation where you have had a set of tests or other specific investigations recommended by a doctor, but you have waited a long time or have postponed making another trip to the office to find out the interpretation of the results. An appointment for an online consultation with a doctor can quickly solve this problem.
1. First of all, you can talk to the doctor from the comfort of your own home, at any time you want. You get rid of the stress of a trip to the office, the problems encountered in traffic, the possible delays that will shorten your consultation time. From home, connected to a telemedicine platform using your computer, tablet or mobile phone, you will certainly feel much more at ease talking to a doctor.
2. You are protected from the danger of infection with SARS-CoV-2. Specialists have repeatedly drawn attention to the fact that the Omicron variant is extremely contagious, so it is good to limit, as much as possible, the risk of getting sick.
3. Quickly find out an informed opinion related to your diagnosis or you can ask for a second opinion. If you have already received a diagnosis and have any doubts or questions, a specialist can advise you. You can easily upload all the results of the investigations performed to the platform, and the doctor has quick access to them.
4. The consultation is safe, easy and confidential.
5. If you have a family member who is unable to move, who has undergone a series of specific analyses or investigations, their online interpretation is the ideal solution. The patient and their relatives are relieved of the stress of another trip to the office, which can worsen the patient's condition. During the online consultation for the interpretation of the tests, the doctor will explain the results and provide directions for starting or continuing treatment.
According to specialists, a wide range of blood tests, as well as other medical investigations, can be interpreted by doctors during an online consultation, conducted on a telemedicine platform.
-Results of routine blood tests (for example, the annual set that is recommended for people over 40)
-Results of tests recommended by the endocrinologist (for detecting thyroid conditions, for example)
-Results of gynecological tests (secretion test, Babe? Papanicolau test, tests for detecting HPV infection)
-Results of tests recommended by the nutritionist (for correct guidance towards a diet that does not affect health)
-Results of tests recommended by the allergist (allergy tests, for example)
"Endocrinology is a specialty that lends itself well to the telemedicine part. The patient takes his tests, the doctor can interpret them online, a treatment is established, which can then also be discussed during meetings on an online consultation platform. I have also noticed that young patients are very open to such consultations, given their ease with technology”, says Dr. Lisandra Damian.

Dr. Daniela Onu, a diabetes and nutrition specialist with 10 years of experience in Germany, also states that interpreting tests during an online consultation has multiple advantages. “A remote consultation is very useful once the patient has already started on this path and had their first visit to the office. Interpreting the results of some tests can be done without any problems through an online consultation, as can the subsequent discussions related to following the diet”, says Dr. Daniela Onu.
