[humanser] Accessible telehealth platform?

[Karen Rose]

I have that one on my phone. When I had a client call it however I could not know that they were in the waiting room or where to tap on the screen to connect with the client. I contacted the owner but never got a reply. Let how do you do with it. Karen

I am still required to have A/V Hyppa compliance software to see them even though neither of us use the visual component. It's the law for all. I do not like the idea of having to invest many thousands of dollars in app design to solve this problem but it does need to be solved. Karen
