ASIM Telecom, the developer of LOCAL mobile network and Viet Nam Young Physicians’ Association (VYPA), on Tuesday signed an agreement to develop consulting programme to support COVID-19 patients nationwide via the myLocal.vn application.
Accordingly, the programme will be implemented through the call centre and the app, supporting the treatment of COVID-19 patients at home and providing health advice and guidelines for treating post-COVID symptoms.
ASIM Telecom has developed the Online Medical Consultation feature on the application platform, helping connect communication between people and medical forces and doctors.
The tool creates a direct and immediate communication channel between medical staff, doctors, and patients, assisting patients to quickly find advice and information support.
Users of the app will receive direct online medical advice about symptoms after being infected with COVID-19 and other specialities through chat or video call.
A team of doctors and nurses from VYPA with professional qualifications and expertise will directly support and answer consultation patients’ requests on the app.
Doctors can experience a virtual hospital model when inpatient consultations are on the app. Accordingly, the medical consultation feature will include different specialities, and doctors will receive a request for consultation according to the previously registered speciality clinic.
The medical device feature helps doctors easily track the problem from the time of receipt until the completion of answering questions.
Speaking at the signing ceremony, Vu Minh Tri, ASIM Telecom’s General Director, said: “ASIM Telecom is particularly interested in community-oriented activities for the community. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, people’s need to consult doctors and medical professionals has become increasingly urgent, especially in the post-COVID-19 period."
"Therefore, together with the Vietnam Young Physicians Association, we hope that the medical advice feature will soon be introduced to help people access medical services and utilities while the country is still being heavily affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.”
