PHILIPPINES — Doctors can now offer their professional help to Filipinos nationwide via their TV sets right from the comfort of their homes. Healthtech company KonsultaMD and global ICT and smart devices company Huawei Philippines bring medical consultations right into the home, for added security from the pandemic.

For a more immersive and realistic meeting with a KonsultaMD doctor, customers may enjoy Huawei Vision S TV’s crystal clear resolution with 13-megapixel magnetic camera.  They can switch effortlessly from watching free TV or streaming their favorite shows to accessing the KonsultaMD app. Soon, the KonsultaMD app will be present in all existing and new Huawei devices.

“Telehealth is relevant now more than ever.  We are glad to partner with Huawei to give customers various ways to access this service, without having to leave their homes. Due to COVID-19, everyone needs to be extra careful of our health to avoid contracting or spreading the virus. KonsultaMD provides them the protection and peace of mind they need,” said KonsultaMD Chief Operating Officer Cholo Tagaysay.
