Hong Kong housewife Chan Ket-yee, who splits her time between Hong Kong and the United Kingdom, has found telemedicine services to be effective in managing her severe eczema. After seeing a Hong Kong public dermatologist, whose treatment plan was more effective than UK doctors, she used telehealth to continue her care across time zones. Telehealth cases handled by the Hospital Authority have increased by 33%, with private clinics offering tailored services for people with busy schedules. Chan's experience with WeDerm, a Hong Kong clinic specializing in eczema care, allowed her to take a gut microbiome test and complete an online follow-up with her nutritionist while living in the UK.
