I have a telehealth appointment (in Australia) this week, and they are using https://doxy.me/

Anybody know much about that one?

My wife uses this when talking to clients (shes a psychologist), but she has the upgraded version that is HD.

If your doctor is on the free plan, it is highly pixelated, and because they offer a hippa-compliant free plan, most providers are on the free plan.

They had a 3-4 hour outage recently. Assuming because of the number of new free users.

> LD video

TIL: there is a quality below SD.

How is a doctor supposed to do a video consultation if the blotches on your bum, purely for example, are all blurry because the definition is less than HD?

Perhaps the system could allow users to send high resolution still photographs alongside the low-quality video stream.

You get most of the consultation with history, described symptoms, etc. handled over telehealth and a quick follow-up in person if you require a physical examination. The process has to cover people who call from a landline as well.
