Hello! This is Ogamari. For the past three weeks, my daughter has been able to attend preschool without a single fever. Just when I thought she had finished her baptism, she developed a fever for the first time in a long time... And on Saturday evening! We put her on suppositories to see how she was doing, but the temperature did not go down. The next day was Sunday, and the hospital that treated him on a holiday was quite a distance from our house.... I wondered what to do, and then I remembered, "Oh, didn't we have an app where you can get an online consultation? I remembered that, and tried using "Kids Doctor!
You can see a doctor in the comfort of your own home!
."KidsDoctoris an application that allows you to receive online medical care for your children. If your child becomes ill at night or on holidays, you can connect with a doctor or nurse right from home!
The three functions are "chat health consultation," "online medical care," and "house calls," each with specific hours and areas available.
This time I used "online medical care" because my home was out of the area for "house calls"!
First, enter the symptoms, details, and information about the child. After submitting the details, you will switch to the status display screen.
I visited on a Sunday morning and the wait time from reception to the start of my consultation was about an hour. I didn't have to wait long because it showed me in real time how many patients I was.
When it is your turn, the enter button appears and the video call with the doctor begins.
The doctor in charge this time was a woman, who waved to my daughter with a friendly smile and said, "Hello~! She waved to my daughter with a kind smile.
Seeing my daughter walking around the room and playing with toys, he said, "It doesn't seem necessary to rush to the hospital. Please continue to see how she is doing," she told me. I felt fresh to have her examined in her normal appearance, since she was held on my lap for the examination at the hospital...!
Although I can't actually examine the sound of the body or the swelling in the throat, I felt that just being able to judge whether the symptoms are urgent or not would be a great source of reassurance!
There are many advantages to seeing a doctor at home!
There are three things that I found to be advantages in using this product.
Insurance card and infant medical card can be used!
As with regular offline consultations, I was able to use my insurance card and infant medical card, so I was able to see the doctor for free this time. The insurance card and infant medical care card are very easy, as all you have to do is send an image taken with your smartphone.
They can also issue prescriptions!
You can also have your prescriptions issued online. Just send us the information of the pharmacy you usually use via chat, and Kids Doctor will link you directly to the pharmacy. Then all you have to do is visit the pharmacy and you can get your medication! It's a very nice system because you don't have to wait for your prescription in a limp state on your way home from the doctor's office!
No need to keep a sick child out of the house!
Above all, I felt that the biggest advantage is that I don't have to change my sick child and take him or her outside! It's not affected by the weather, and there's no need to worry about them getting sick at the hospital. I, as a parent, was also able to accompany my child in my spare loungewear... (This is the biggest advantage!?!) I was able to go to the hospital in my room clothes...(this is the best advantage!)
Children often get sick only during the nighttime holidays. Just install Kids Doctor on your smartphone for peace of mind! Please give it a try!â
