Technology is changing how health care is delivered. Tools like remote patient monitoring relay vital health information from a patient at home to their care team at a medical complex. Patients can download smart phone apps that allow them to connect virtually with their providers and skip the drive to the doctor’s office.
Listen as Chris Meyer, Marshfield Clinic Health System’s director of virtual health, discusses how this field, called telehealth or telemedicine, is helping patients now, what the future may hold and challenges to implementing this technology on a large scale.

Chris, In your audio presentation on virtual health I believe you are mixing up two words. Several times you said, "exasperation" (getting provoked) when I believe you meant, "exacerbation" (getting worse). An interesting discussion.
