I think that telemedicine is actually a new thing for everyone in Singapore. Whether it is psychiatric or not but we have started zoom meetings and held zoom family conferences when necessary. From what I observed it's quite fruitful but for everyone we have to see if it's helpful in the long run as it is still too early. I am someone who embraces technology and I think that telehealth is something the world is looking at and not just Singapore. At some point in time, we have to learn to use it and maybe even make it better for the whole consultation for psychiatric patients.
