Telemedicine allows patients to consult with healthcare providers remotely, using video conferencing or other technologies.
Benefits of telemedicine for neurosurgical consultations:
-
Increased access to care: Telemedicine can make it easier for patients to see a neurosurgeon, regardless of where they live or their mobility status. This is especially important for patients who may have difficulty traveling.
-
Convenience: Telemedicine can be more convenient for patients than traditional in-person consultations. Patients can save time and hassle by consulting with a provider from the comfort of their own home.
-
Improved communication: Telemedicine can improve communication between patients and neurosurgeons. Patients can use telemedicine to ask questions and get clarifications about their condition and treatment plan, progress and rehabilitation.
Although it is not a replacement for in-person consultations, it can make neurosurgical care more accessible and convenient for patients.
