When you’re visiting your doctor’s office, you’re probably used to having some vital signs taken, such as your blood pressure and your temperature. Obviously, your doctor isn’t able to take these measurements through your screen—so it’s wise to have certain tools at home. Nicole Washington, DO, psychiatrist and chief medical officer at Elocin Psychiatric Services, says you should have a thermometer and blood pressure cuff on hand during the virtual call.
If you don’t have them available at home, Amanda Gorman, CRNP, founder of Nest Collaborative, says that for some “longer term, chronic issues,” your provider may be able to offer you a “specialized home monitoring equipment that can more accurately record these numbers.”
