Image
  Developing your own tool with a video feature, you might come up with a question: how to choose the right video chat SDK/API?  We addressed this question to Dmytro U., a senior react native developer at Riseapps.

Minimal differences in OS versions accompany low device variability. Consequently, the release time is acce...

Are video consultations going to be a passing phase?

Image
  Unlikely and here’s why I think video consultations, in some guise, are here to stay. Firstly, COVID-19 isn’t going away soon. Most likely not until there is a vaccine. Even after infection rates reduce and most lockdown restrictions have been removed, both clients and clinicians may continue to be anxious about face to face (F2F) consultations. There is much we don’t know about this virus, including whether we will see a second wave spreading in the autumn, so having video consultations as an alternative in your toolbox could be an invaluable asset for the foreseeable future.  In addition, if you put aside the health concerns caused by COVID-19, it’s fair to say that the virus has created a desire amongst the broader population to use the current circumstances as a driver for a positive cultural and economic change.  Large companies around the globe are realising that it’s possible to switch to home-working permanently. People have been enjoying the reduction of commut...
