Getting to doctors' offices took longer for people of colour and the jobless, according to a survey of patient travel times. American citizens living in rural locations face more obstacles when seeking medical attention than their metropolitan counterparts. Have your experiences with video telemedicine led you to believe it may benefit these populations? How may this technology be used to better serve underserved communities in terms of healthcare delivery?
