iHealthCast.com launched to allow patients consult with doctors from home

Most people want better access to health care for themselves and their family, however a major obstacle in achieving this is the time and hassle involved in seeing a doctor.  Many find the whole process discouraging.

Until now, this process typically involves calling to make an appointment, usually for a much later date, arranging for time off work and then making childcare arrangements.  On the day of the appointment, patients tend to wait in cramped waiting rooms, coming into contact with germs.  Then, the actual appointment may be rushed as well, leaving patients feeling frustrated.
