What to Consider When Selecting a Laptop for Telehealth?

Teletherapy and telehealth have gained widespread popularity in recent years as a means for people to access healthcare services remotely. For teletherapy professionals, having a reliable and capable laptop is essential for delivering mental health treatments online.

When purchasing a laptop for teletherapy, it is important to ensure that it is durable and rugged enough to be easily transported from one session to another without any issues. Here are several important specifications to consider when choosing a laptop for teletherapy professionals.

A Fast Processor is Essential

When it comes to teletherapy, it is important to choose a laptop with fast processing speed. A good laptop for telehealth professionals should have a CPU with at least 4 cores and a processing speed of 2 GHz or higher to ensure smooth and high-quality video calls with clients.

For even better performance, I recommend choosing a laptop with a processor with 6 cores. This will allow you to run multiple applications without any lag or other issues. An Intel Core i5 11th, 12th, or 13th generation processor would be an ideal choice.

Ensure Ample Memory

Having sufficient memory (RAM) is crucial for running therapy software, video conferencing, and other applications. Most teletherapy professionals will find 8 GB of RAM sufficient, ensuring fast overall speeds when running programs.

Having less than 8 GB of RAM may lead to slower performance and could prove to be highly frustrating when conducting online telehealth sessions. If you need to run multiple applications at once, such as video conferencing software, word processing, email, and a virtual whiteboard, having more than 8 GB of RAM is advisable.

In general, 8 GB of RAM is sufficient, but this can depend on other tasks you perform on your laptop. For more demanding tasks, such as video editing, 16 GB of RAM is recommended.

Ensure Ample Storage

For most teletherapy professionals, a laptop with 512 GB of SSD (solid-state drive) should provide ample space to save video recordings and files without having to constantly delete anything.

If budget is a concern, a laptop with a 256 GB SSD is also sufficient. But it is always better to err on the side of caution and opt for a laptop with more storage space than you need.

It is also a good idea to check if the laptop has M.2 drives, as this will allow you to add additional SSD storage if necessary. Having two SSDs in a laptop will ensure a fast and responsive experience. Avoid laptops with HDD as they are slower and more prone to damage.

Display and Camera Quality

When choosing a laptop for teletherapy, it is imperative you consider the quality of the display and camera, as the therapist needs to see the patient clearly and have a stable video communication.

An HD or FHD display and HD camera are more than adequate for teletherapy sessions. Additionally, the laptop should have a good microphone for clear communication during video conferences, enabling you to provide clear healthcare advice.

Other Features Worth their Weight

In addition to these laptop specs, it is important to consider the battery life, especially for teletherapy professionals who may need to work for extended periods without access to a power source.

Portability is another important consideration, as you may need to transport your laptop frequently. A lightweight and portable model may be ideal in this case, but if you do not plan to carry your laptop far, a larger laptop with more screen space may be a better option.

Telehealth Laptop Requirements

The minimum requirements for telehealth remote works as as follows;

Component	Minimum Requirements
Processor	10th Gen Intel Core i3 or Equivalent to AMD Ryzen 3
Graphics	Integrated Intel UHD or AMD Vega 8 (Not as important)
RAM	4GB RAM DDR4 (Best 8GB of RAM)
Storage	1TB HDD or 256GB SSD
Display	1080P Full HD
Webcam	720p (Best 1080p)
Ports	USB Type-C (Thunderbolt 4 Best)
Battery	5 hours to 7 hours of battery life

Conclusion

There we have it, a list of some of the best laptops for teletherapy and telehealth sessions in 2023. Hopefully, there is a solution for you. If not, at least you now know what to look out for.

In summary, the Razer Blade 15 provides the most power and performance. While the LG Gram is a viable option for users who prefer a larger laptop. The ASUS Vivobook offers a good balance of power and portability, which makes it a solid choice for this type of remote work.
