How it works
Lipoedema and Lymphoedema Assessments Made Easy
Telehealth has come a long way since the days of awkward online chats, but many clients worry about what can be achieved over a video conference. Will it be as good as sitting opposite a clinician? With proper preparation (see our pre-assessment requirements), telehealth with video conferencing can be a very effective and convenient way to access specialised lipoedema and lymphoedema assessments.
1. Pre-Assessment Checklist
The key to a great telehealth appointment is preparation. Once you have booked your assessment, you will be emailed a Pre-Assessment Checklist. This will include a photography guide and a Pre-Assessment Questionnaire. You may also undertake an optional InBody Bioimpedance Test to aid your assessment.
2. Use a device you are comfortable with
Join the video call via the secure link from your mobile phone, tablet or laptop. Ensure you have a good internet connection, good lighting, and are seated comfortably for the duration of your appointment. I recommend sitting at your kitchen table or a desk. You may be asked to walk or move during the appointment so having a space free from obstructions is ideal.
3. Attend your appointment with confidence
Be confident and attend your appointment like you would any other. Telehealth and video conferencing is just like a conversation across the table. Some clients worry that the conversation may be awkward or disjointed, or are not confident with technology. You are welcome to have a carer, friend or family member with you during the appointment to support you.
