Head of Medical PT Good Doctor Technology Indonesia Adhiatma Gunawan said telemedicine has the potential to help encourage the development of patient health. “It can even suppress and reduce BPJS chronic care costs in the long term,” he said.
How can teleconsultation services help people with diabetes?
In the pilot study, BPJS offline clinics received support from telemedicine provider Good Doctor to measure the effectiveness of teleconsultation in monitoring blood glucose of diabetic patients at BPJS clinics.
The support includes regular automatic reminders/notifications, regular contact/follow-ups, online consultations, and educational information. Within three months, the patient received a reminder from the telehealth platform to check and measure his blood glucose.
The results of this pilot study indicate that there is a difference between patients who use telemedicine and those who do not, in which patient compliance during the observation period has a high contribution to a significant decrease in blood glucose levels.
