Mental Wellness at Your Fingertips

As technology has evolved throughout the decades, telemedicine has also moved forward to create a revolutionary new way to provide health care services for people across the globe.
Telemedicine has come a long way since the 1950s, when it was mainly used as a method of communication between a select group of hospitals and university medical centers, allowing specialists to collaborate with doctors on patient care. Sokya has emerged at the forefront of telemedicine by providing a complete mental wellness experience available online.

Today, telemedicine is used to deliver in-depth virtual health care to patients that can be accessed on the web. It utilizes digital and communication technologies like video conferencing, online health portals and mobile apps to manage a patient’s health remotely, allowing users to access the services they need while staying at home. Many forms of health care, including mental health care and telepsychiatry, can be facilitated effectively through telemedicine, providing a convenient treatment option that eliminates the need to travel to a doctor’s office for routine appointments.

While telemedicine is not new, it has been more widely adopted since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. As new safety protocols and guidelines were developed to limit the spread of the virus, telemedicine access has expanded to meet the evolving needs of patients and clinicians. Since telemedicine has become more popular, another term you may hear about is telehealth, but there are some key differences between telehealth and telemedicine that are important when it comes to mental health and psychiatric treatment.

Telehealth vs. Telemedicine

Both telehealth and telemedicine are important because they raise the bar for healthcare around the world.
Patients and doctors stay connected in ways they never have before for a seamless continuum of care. This is especially important for people who are in need of both psychiatric and mental health care, who now have a range of technology applications that can help them get the treatment they need.

Telehealth

The telehealth umbrella covers services and technologies that provide both clinical and non-clinical care. Clinical telehealth offerings may include medical assessments and treatment for individuals or families, while examples of non-clinical services include education and training for healthcare clinicians.

Telemedicine

Telemedicine, on the other hand, focuses exclusively on clinical care. Electronic communications and software programs used in telemedicine help physicians and patients stay connected and meet, either via phone or video, outside of the typical office setting. Clinical services that are often provided via telemedicine include medical evaluations and consultations, follow-up visits, therapeutic interventions, medication management and more.

Robust Mental Health Solutions

At Sokya, we utilize telepsychiatry to provide comprehensive mental health treatment for those who can’t come into the office for any reason, including illness, distance or cost.
Telemedicine can be adopted to treat a wide range of medical conditions but has been particularly useful in managing mental health concerns even before the outbreak of COVID-19. With more people than ever reporting mental health challenges due to the stress, fear and uncertainty of life during a pandemic, the use of telepsychiatry or telemental health (a subset of telemedicine) has increased significantly to meet the needs of a changing world.

By enabling remote online access to appointments and counseling sessions, we’re able to provide a more convenient treatment option that doesn’t sacrifice the quality of care you’ll receive.
Some of the telepsych services that we offer are:
Psychiatric Evaluation and Assessment
Psychotherapy
Group Therapy
Counseling
Crisis Intervention
Medication Management
Life Coaching
Self-care Resources

We're Here To Guide You

Telemedicine can seem intimidating, especially if you’ve never done it before.
But many patients find that they’re more relaxed in their home environment and have an easier time opening up about mental health challenges than in a traditional office setting. We do our best to make sure that you’re comfortable during your virtual visit, but there are a few things that you can do to prepare for your appointment and get the most out of your telemental health experience.

Making mental wellness more accessible for everyone is our top priority, so our team of mental health experts has been specially trained to deliver care in an online environment to ensure that you receive the highest quality telepsych services available. Before your first appointment, we keep things simple by explaining the telemedicine care process and how it works so you’ll feel comfortable and prepared for your virtual visit.
How to prepare for your telemental health appointment:
For your appointment, you will need a smartphone, computer, tablet or another device that can access the internet and open a web browser.
Ensure that your audio and video are working and log in to our platform.
Find a quiet location where you won’t be disturbed.
Make sure your space is free of distractions and located somewhere that you’ll feel comfortable discussing your mental health.
Prepare your thoughts and write down a list of questions, symptoms or other talking points you want to cover during your appointment.
Consider using earbuds or headphones to keep your appointment private.

Benefits of Telemedicine

Telemedicine is an effective and practical solution to providing high-quality mental health treatment while limiting in-person visits.
In addition to keeping you and your doctor safe, telemedicine provides many other benefits, including:
Real-time patient data access
More flexible scheduling
Increased patient convenience
Expands access to mental health care for patients in rural or remote areas
Accessible from computers, smartphones and tablets
Limits in-person contact to prevent the spread of illness
Less interference with daily responsibilities (work, child care, etc.)
Telemedicine also allows physicians to share patient data quickly and securely, improving the quality and efficiency of health care across all modalities. Along with this increased accessibility, telemedicine can also enhance engagement between you and your clinician, which often leads to greater satisfaction with your mental health care.
