Adherence

Telehealth-delivered dietetic consultations (telephone and videoconference) produce clinical and dietary outcomes comparable to in-person face-to-face consultations for weight management and chronic disease management.

If you have a chronic condition or are managing weight, telehealth consultations with a dietitian are just as effective as visiting a clinic in person. You can use phone or video calls to get the same quality of care, often with less travel time and cost. Ask your provider about telehealth options.
