CloudMD Software & Services Inc. (TSXV: DOC, OTCQB: DOCRF,
Frankfurt: 6PH) (the “
Company” or
“
CloudMD”), a telehealth company revolutionizing
the delivery of healthcare to patients, is pleased to announce that
iMD Health Global (“
iMD”), the Company’s robust
healthcare education platform, has partnered with the Mental Health
Commission of Canada (“
MHCC”) to get relevant
mental health resources, tools and information into the hands of
healthcare providers and their patients.
“iMD has an innovative approach that allows
health professionals to access thousands of educational graphics,
videos and resources online,” said Ed Mantler, MHCC’s
Vice-President of Programs and Priorities. “We’re excited
that a number of the valuable resources we’ve created at the MHCC
will now be available through this medium. Improving communication
and understanding between patients and care providers will spell
better mental health outcomes for people in Canada.”
Already used in examination rooms, at hospital
bedsides and during pharmacy consultations, iMD is the trusted
source for verified medical information.
“We know that 83 per cent of adults in Canada
try to use the internet to self-diagnose, yet only about 3 per cent
of those findings are accurate,” said Kevin Delano,
President and CEO of iMD, citing the need for accurate,
reliable health information, particularly given the shift towards
digital tools incited by the pandemic. “We are excited to partner
with MHCC in order to provide Canadians with better access to
mental health information in a time when it is crucial to be
properly informed.”
Having trusted, credible information to share
with family and friends is important during a time of social
distance, and technology can bridge the gap. “Patients,
understandably, forget 80 per cent of what’s discussed with their
health care provider. If they are unable to bring a support person
to their appointment, iMD allows them to access and share
information afterwards. This can help to lower anxiety, confusion
and misinformation.”
Through a resource like iMD, full of
user-friendly and visually appealing information, patients will
gain a better understanding of their mental health condition. They
will be then able to make more informed and responsible decisions,
which is at the heart of a recovery-oriented, patient-centred
approach.
