Telehealth in Education and Research in Primary Care in Pandemic: COVID-19 Case

Abstract

The use of electronic services through a wide range of communication platforms to provide knowledge in order to provide health to populations, in what is known as telehealth. This article shows scientific evidence of the merit of the use of telehealth in the education of health sciences students and in primary care research during the COVID-19 pandemic as central axes for the success of health control programs in the approach to this emerging disease, based on the review of scientific studies in digital format published up to May 2021 that met the inclusion criteria (originality, adequate conclusions and no duplication). The information found is organized into three sections to facilitate reading and understanding, namely: telehealth in the COVID-19 pandemic; preparation in primary care of health sciences students based on telehealth and COVID-19; and research in primary care in times of information and communication technology and the COVID-19 pandemic. Finally, as a product of the analysis, the authors provide conclusions.

Health and biosensor technology—A revolution underway for the well-being of the population

“…Care in hospital settings, public or private sector, is clearly revolutionized with biosensors due to the continuous collection of data, real-time analysis and presentation of health information that allows the historical accumulation of data before the presentation of the patient to the health institution in search of medical attention that facilitates rapid classification and immediate health care, reducing complications and sequelae [1,12,13] .…”

“…Telemedicine is revolutionized by wearable sensors because it provides information to remote doctors while the patient is at home or hospital that can be integrated into the electronic medical record through the use of integration/interoperability applications that aggregate data from hundreds of wearable devices to their associated electronic medical record systems [1,2,13] .…”
