Can I really be cured through a virtual service?

We are living a period where there is a hype about delivering health care services online (monitoring chronic conditions, providing technology to enhance remembering, meeting with your eNurse etc.). It is of course wonderful that I can get assurance by being informed about my health condition and so on. But at this point of time I want to stop this tech-hype a little bit, although I have been an eager fan of being able to stay virtually in contact with my friends and my loved ones. I think that we all know that machines can never replace the physical contact. But how many of you have really tried to be alone and the only caring, is coming by meetings online? When the only real caring love is skype meetings every mornings and evenings? And text messages and phone calls in between? Well, I am in this situation and one day when I was really ill, having backpains, and worried about having something serious it didn't help to talk about that online. When I made an appointment with a doctor who examined my back and put the "finger on my pain" I was in a better shape straight after. So please, you policy makers and technology-based service providers who want to robotize our homes so that we can stay there longer, please remember that we truly need the presence of another person in the same physical space. Nothing can replace the energy of human touch. Or anyway, not in my life.
