representative of US online adults.

We asked them what they think of the
virtual doctor visit concept and whether and
under what circumstances they would use it.

Many adults
actually say they
would not use it.

Would the virtual doctor
visit replace actually going
to the doctor’s office or be
in addition to it?

Some see it as a great alternative,
greatly reducing the need to see
their doctor in person.

For others, it is seen as something
they would use in addition to going
to the doctor’s office.

doctor visit may also replace or be in
addition to self-education, self-
diagnosis and self-treatment.
