There is a lot of information to be gained looking through the camera. I can see your skin tone, rate of breathing, gait, clarity of speech. Are you sitting up or lying in bed? Are you pale? Does your breathing look rapid? Do you have dark circles under your eyes? Do you look puffy?
You can also follow my instructions to aid in your own examination – I can have you move your joints, see if you have pain in specific areas, move the camera to see your eyes, throat, skin rashes, etc. You can take your own pulse while I time you and use your own thermometer to check for fever. Family members can also be recruited: they can examine an abdomen and check for tenderness using my instructions. Not only does this add valuable information to the physical examination, it engages you, the patient in being an active part of your healthcare.
