  • The Future of Telemedicine: How DRO Health is improving Patient Care.

    In recent years, telemedicine has transformed the landscape of healthcare, offering patients greater access and convenience. At DRO Health, we are proud to be at the forefront of this revolution, utilizing cutting-edge technology to enhance patient care.

    Telemedicine allows patients to consult with healthcare practitioners from the comfort of their homes, breaking down geographical barriers and reducing the need for in-person visits. This is particularly beneficial for individuals in rural areas or those with mobility challenges.

    DRO Health’s telehealth platform is designed with user experience in mind. Our intuitive interface ensures that scheduling appointments, accessing medical records, and communicating with healthcare professionals is seamless and efficient.

    Our telemedicine platform allows virtual consultations with qualified practitioners, specialists and therapists via chat, audio, and video calls. Patients can select which doctor they want to consult with based on their profile and price. Prices are set very low and are a wide range so care is affordable for all.

    The app also has trackers for several health-related needs, such as blood pressure, blood sugar and weight tracking. This is part of our wellness programs to help manage chronic illness including Cardiovascular disease (Heart Health) and Mental Health.

    Our commitment to personalized care remains strong. Each patient receives tailored treatment plans that consider their unique health needs. Our team of dedicated healthcare practitioners is just a click away, ready to provide guidance and support.

    As we look to the future, DRO Health is excited about the potential of telehealth to improve outcomes. By continuing to innovate and adapt, we aim to make healthcare more accessible and effective for everyone. Join us on this journey as we redefine what healthcare can be!

  • 5 Ways A Meal Plan Improves Your Life

    5 Ways A Meal Plan Improves Your Life

    There are many reasons why different people choose to go the meal planning route. Some people opt for a meal plan because it’s a way to meet their health and/or weight goals. Others do it because they’re pressed for time and it helps make cooking and shopping more efficient. No matter what reason you have for considering it, this is your sign to go for it. Meal plans are great for so many reasons, and some benefits will be explored in this article.

    What is a meal plan?

    We can’t start to talk about how a meal plan helps you without first talking about what it is. It is a set-out list or timetable of meals you will eat within a certain period. It goes by other terms, such as diet plans, meal prep, and meal planning.

    There are different ways to approach making one. You can make it by yourself or reach out to a dietitian to make one for you tailored to your health needs. Some have mealtimes and serving measurements. Others have only the meals set out by day and the ingredients you’ll use to make the meals. Keep reading to discover some mind-blowing benefits.

    A meal plan helps you reach your health goals:

    One of the most important benefits is that it helps you reach your health goals. This is why it’s recommended to speak to a qualified dietitian if your end goal with a meal plan is to improve your health. Dietitians help access your health goals and then come up with the best one for you.

    Improve your portion control:

    If you are adopting a meal plan to aid your weight loss goals, it will help you with portion control. It comes with portion sizes (in some cases), and this means there’s a reduced chance you’ll overeat.

    Avoid unhealthy eating:

    Another benefit of a meal plan, especially one made by a dietitian is that it completely removes all unhealthy options. Your health needs have been assessed by the professional, so you won’t be eating anything that worsens your health conditions.

    A more efficient shopping process:

    A meal plan makes it possible for you to know everything you want to cook and eat for a foreseeable future. The ingredients are listed out, so shopping is done faster and more efficiently. It helps you save money because you won’t buy ingredients you don’t need.

    A meal plan eradicates stressful last-minute cooking:

    Meal prep involves cooking all your meals (for a week or two) at the same time and storing them to eat later. When you meal prep, you can be sure that you always have a meal ready. You don’t have to stress yourself out about last-minute cooking or having nothing to eat.

    Diet management is an important part of improving your general health. Meal planning is a subpart of diet management that’s equally as important. On the DRO Health App, you can book a virtual consultation with a qualified dietitian. You get to speak about your health and dietary concerns right from the comfort of your home or office.

    The DRO Health App is available on the App Store (iOS) and Google Play Store (Android).
