Benefits of Physitrack Telehealth

Calls are encrypted

Audio and video streams are encrypted.

No additional software to install for your clients

Your client uses the web, iOS or Android version of PhysiApp that they already have on their device.

Separate your personal communications from your clinical communications

No more need to use your personal WhatsApp, Skype or FaceTime account for consultations.

Call duration is logged by Physitrack

You can view when calls were made and what the duration was.

Require consent before a call

If you like, you can automatically show a consent message that the client needs to agree to at the beginning of the call. If the client gives consent (or doesn't), this is logged in the call log.

Share your screen

If you would like to share screens or notes, for example to preview the home exercise program you are about to assign, you can do so securely.

Stream Physitrack exercises (and your own)

Educate your clients remotely by streaming exercises from our exercise library, including the ones you've added yourself. You can control playback of the exercise on your client's screen to make sure that your client fully understands the instructions.

In Physitrack Telehealth, the practitioner initiates a call:

The practitioner invites the client & starts the call
The client receives an invitation to join the call
The client logs in to PhysiApp to accept the call

For best practices, see our article on our Recommended Telehealth Workflow.

1. Invite the client & start the call ✉️ 📹

Step 1: Invite the client

To invite a client, you can go to the:

Connect page and click the "Call client" button,
or;
Clients page, click on the client in question and click the "Start video call" button.

You will see a modal (popup) that looks similar to the one shown below.

You can edit the invitation text as you see fit. You can also set a standard invitation text.

The invitation text contains a special link that lets your client download & login to PhysiApp in one click.

Note: if the client is logged in to PhysiApp and has the app open (web, iOS or Android) you will see a Call button next to their name. When you click this, you immediately start a call with a client and bypass the invitation screen.

Step 2: Check your call connection

When you press "Invite & start video call", a popup window is opened with the video call in it. You should see and hear yourself (see below).

If you don't see a popup, please check that your browser allows popups from Physitrack.

Make sure that you turn on your camera and microphone and allow your browser access to your camera and microphone.

(You can turn off video and mute audio during the call)

2. The client receives an invitation to join the call ✉️👨

Your client receives an email with a "single sign on" link.

When your client clicks this link, they automatically download PhysiApp (if on iOS or Android) and login to their program (all platforms).

Once they are logged in to the program, they are prompted to join the video call.

3. The client logs in to accept the call 👨👩

When the client joins the call, their video and audio will automatically show in your call.

If you've enabled patient consent, then the consent status will be shown in your call window
When you are in a call, you can share your screen or stream exercises.

We suggest that you first try this workflow with a colleague or friend, and then implement it with clients once you are certain that your audio and video are properly working.
