“…Recent political developments in USA are also noteworthy: The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 removed restrictions based on geographical location, enabling telemedicine to be available to far greater numbers of patients than before [ 19 ]. Protagonists and supporters of this approach hope that it will reduce costs and also provide better care [ 86 ]. This trend could well have an effect on legislation in the rest of the world as well.…”

The use of telehealth to support, enhance or substitute traditional methods of delivering healthcare is becoming increasingly common in many specialties, such as stroke care, radiology and oncology. There is reason to believe that this approach remains underutilized within nephrology, which is somewhat surprising given the fact that nephrologists have always driven technological change in developing dialysis technology. Despite the obvious benefits that telehealth may provide, robust evidence remains lacking and many of the studies are anecdotal, limited to small numbers or without conclusive proof of benefit. More worryingly, quite a few studies report unexpected obstacles, pitfalls or patient dissatisfaction. However, with increasing global threats such as climate change and infectious disease, a change in approach to delivery of healthcare is needed. The current pandemic with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has prompted the renal community to embrace telehealth to an unprecedented extent and at speed. In that sense the pandemic has already served as a disruptor, changed clinical practice and shown immense transformative potential. Here, we provide an update on current evidence and use of telehealth within various areas of nephrology globally, including the fields of dialysis, inpatient care, virtual consultation and patient empowerment. We also provide a brief primer on the use of artificial intelligence in this context and speculate about future implications. We also highlight legal aspects and pitfalls and discuss the ‘digital divide’ as a key concept that healthcare providers need to be mindful of when providing telemedicine-based approaches. Finally, we briefly discuss the immediate use of telenephrology at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. We hope to provide clinical nephrologists with an overview of what is currently available, as well as a glimpse into what may be expected in the future.

“…In den letzten 2 Jahren wurden insbesondere in den USA telemedizinische Ansätze in der Heimdialyse gefördert, und zwar unabhängig von der Entfernung zum jeweiligen Dialysezentrum [14]. Grund für diese politischen Initiativen sind v. a. die immensen Kosten im Medicare-System von 110 Mrd.…”

ZUSAMMENFASSUNGIn den letzten Jahren ist die telemedizinische Betreuung von Heimdialysepatienten besonders in der Peritonealdialyse zunehmend eingesetzt worden. Insbesondere die Übersicht von strukturierten Daten zu geplanten und tatsächlichen Behandlungen ermöglicht ein proaktiveres Patientenmanagement. Durch dieses Vorgehen werden häufiger Anpassungen des Therapieregimes vorgenommen, was wiederum weniger nächtliche Alarme und weniger persönliche Vorstellungen in der Ambulanz zur Folge hat.
