Utilization of Telemedicine in neurological disorders in primary care
Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated changes in healthcare delivery, notably the adoption of telemedicine and digital health solutions. Telemedicine, specifically teleneurology, has emerged as a solution to improve access to neurological care. This review discusses the principles of conducting neurological assessments remotely in a primary care context. It also addresses challenges such as patient acceptance, technology infrastructure, reimbursement policies, and provider training. Additionally, it explores the role of wearable devices in gathering patient data and emphasizes the importance of standardized legislation and interoperability among telehealth platforms. The integration of telemedicine and digital health solutions in primary care can enhance the management of neurological disorders, particularly in underserved areas. By embracing these innovations and adopting a collaborative approach, primary care providers can contribute to improving patient outcomes and the overall quality of neurological healthcare.
