Calling, chat and video chat

How to communicate with my doctor

Calling

You can either call from a landline, or your cellphone, mobile device and from your computer, provided you have the right tool (software) to conduct such calls.

Essentially we work with Whatsapp or Google Duo, applications which you can easily download from the respective on-line stores of  either Google Play or the Apple App store free of charge... it's simple to install and once done you can use it for either simple voice calls or a video chat.

Chat

Chat refers to the process of communicating, interacting and/or exchanging messages over the Internet. It involves two or more individuals that communicate through a chat-enabled service or software.

Chat is also known as chatting, online chat or Internet chat.

Chat may be delivered through text, verbal, audio, visual or audio-visual (A/V) communication via the Internet. If conducted through a desktop, chat requires software that supports Internet Relay Chat (IRC) or an instant messenger application, where a central server manages chat communication between different end user clients.

There are also online chat services that require users to sign up with a valid email address. After signing up, a user may join a group chat room or send a private message to another individual. Online chat services have purpose-built chat interfaces that manage the entire communication processes.

Video Conferencing

Video conferencing refers to conducting a video conference or video teleconference in which two or more sets of hardware and software interact while simultaneously transmitting and receiving video and audio signals from two or more geographic locations. Video conferencing may also involve sharing documents, various presentation materials, whiteboards, flip charts and similar group presentation visual aids. A telepresence system is most often used at the corporate or enterprise level and represents high-end video conferencing systems. Video conferencing is differentiated from video phone calls, which serve individuals as opposed to a conference. Video conferencing is also known as online video conferencing and PC video conferencing. Using conferencing you can bring more people to participate in the discussion (usualy up to a total - including you and the doctor to four)
