Telehealth refers to providing healthcare services remotely using telecommunications technology, such as video calls or phone consultations.

Telehealth is not suitable for all situations but works well for follow-ups and non-emergency consultations.
You can start by checking if your local clinics offer telehealth services and setting up an account on their platform.
The choice depends on your needs—fitness trackers for activity monitoring or smartwatches for overall health tracking are popular options.
