“…Survival rates did not differ significantly between the groups. Furthermore, telemedicine has been investigated in disease surveillance in rural areas, where delays in disease recognition and intervention can lead to the uncontrolled spread of infectious diseases, or to the more rapid prediction of failure of installed therapy in such areas ( 41 – 43 ). Finally, blockchain-enabled digital health passports have been proposed for use in situations where contact tracing of infectious patients can be crucial ( 44 ).…”

Hospitals can be overburdened with large numbers of patients with severe infectious conditions during infectious disease outbreaks. Such outbreaks or epidemics put tremendous pressure on the admission capacity of care facilities in the concerned region, negatively affecting the elective program within these facilities. Such situations have been observed during the recent waves of the coronavirus disease pandemic. Owing to the imminent threat of a “tripledemic” by new variants of the coronavirus disease (such as the new Omicron XBB.1.16 strain), influenza, and respiratory syncytial virus during future winter seasons, healthcare agencies should take decisive steps to safeguard hospitals' surge capacity while continuing to provide optimal and safe care to a potentially large number of patients in their trusted home environment. Preparedness of health systems for infectious diseases will require dynamic interaction between a continuous assessment of region-wide available hospital capacity and programs for intensive home treatment of patients who can spread the disease. In this viewpoint, we describe an innovative, dynamic coupling system between hospital surge capacity and cascading activation of a nationwide system for remote patient monitoring. This approach was developed using the multi-criteria decision analysis methodology, considering previously published real-life experiences on remote patient monitoring.

“…E‐visits (electronic visits) have significantly lowered costs compared with face‐to‐face visits, reducing trips to hospitals, time off‐work and childcare costs 39,51 . Recently researchers suggested a role for TM in preventing unnecessary emergency and hospital utilization following disasters, such as natural disasters, war and extreme remote sites 52–54 …”

Efficacious, effective and efficient communication between healthcare professionals (HCP) and patients is essential to achieve a successful therapeutic alliance. Telemedicine (TM) has been used for decades but during the COVID‐19 pandemic its use has become widespread. This position paper aims to describe the terminology and most important forms of TM among HCP and patients and review the existing studies on the uses of TM for asthma and allergy. Besides, the advantages and risks of TM are discussed, concluding that TM application reduces costs and time for both, HCP and patients, but cannot completely replace face‐to‐face visits for physical examinations and certain tests that are critical in asthma and allergy. From an ethical point of view, it is important to identify those involved in the TM process, ensure confidentiality and use communication channels that fully guarantee the security of the information. Unmet needs and directions for the future regarding implementation, data protection, privacy regulations, methodology and efficacy are described.

“…Saigí (2023), establece que la utilidad de la telemedicina radica en que ha incorporado el tema de salud digital mediante el uso de los avances tecnológicos. Monfort et al (2023), consideran que la utilidad de la telemedicina se establece, en que es una herramienta útil para poder diagnosticar y sobre todo poder tratar estas enfermedades, sobre todo para personas que viven en sitios remotos. Toledo (2023), establece que la utilidad de la telemedicina al usar los avances tecnológicos, porque proporciona una ayuda que es útil para poder diagnosticar, prevenir y tratar enfermedades.…”

“…Por otro lado, ciertos autores señalan que la principal utilidad de la telemedicina radica en que permite apoyar en el diagnóstico, tratamiento de diversas enfermedades (Piga et al, 2017;Pascual et al, 2019;Ovando, 2021;Díaz et al, 2022;Monfort et al, 2023;Toledo, 2023). De igual manera, consideran que la utilidad está en que permite el monitoreo de diversas enfermedades para un mejor control de estas (Piga et al, 2017;Martínez et al, 2020).…”

“…Saigì (2023), en su estudio de la telemedicina en América Latina frente a la Covid-19, hace mención que esta herramienta de salud digital al usar las innovaciones tecnológicas ha contribuido enormemente al sistema sanitario, lo cual se ha evidenciado en la última crisis sanitaria. Monfort et al (2023), en un estudio relacionado para determinar la aplicación de la telemedicina en cuanto a enfermedades infecciosas exponen que la telemedicina aporta mucho para poder diagnosticar y sobre todo poder tratar estas enfermedades a personas que viven en sitios remotos. Toledo (2023), describe a la telemedicina como una herramienta de uso transversal, utiliza medios de comunicación como; la radio, teléfono, han evolucionado a nuevos inventos tecnológicos que sirven para realizar diagnósticos, profilaxis y tratamiento de enfermedades.…”

En el presente estudio, se busca explorar la utilidad práctica de la tele medicina, sobre todo en aquellas situaciones donde muchas personas no pueden acceder a un establecimiento de servicio sanitario físico, así como indagar la utilidad de la telemedicina en el Perú, y cómo se ha desarrollado en estos últimos años, a tal punto que ha sido necesario emitir el D.S. Nº 005-2021-SA, que aprueba la Ley 30421 de Telesalud, sumado al D.L. 1490, siendo el objetivo lograr el uso masivo de la atención medica con apoyo de le Tecnología, reduciendo automáticamente el tiempo y costos en beneficio de los usuarios y de la propia institución de salud. La metodología utilizada es de enfoque cualitativo descriptivo, de tipo básico, se ha utilizado técnicas e instrumentos y métodos para analizar cómo se viene desarrollando la tele consulta y la tele monitoreo en la atención de distintas enfermedades. Siendo las conclusiones más resaltantes que la telemedicina reduce tiempos y costos, con apoyo de los avances tecnológicos, permitiendo diseñar nuevos modelos de gestión para la atención de pacientes en forma masiva en beneficio de una sociedad con salud.
