Telemedicine platform delivers long-distance care to transgender patients
Telemedicine has been able to help treat several types of patients, but it now is helping transgender patients throughout the country, according to a new report in the San Francisco Chronicle.
A telemedicine service designed specifically for transgender patients, TransLine, provides clinician-to-clinician support. It offers basic email consultation and is operated through volunteer clinicians.
“This is a much-needed service,” said Lyon-Martin’s trans health manager, JM Jaffe, who manages TransLine. “There really is nothing else like it in the country, or even the world as far as we know.”
