Telehealth

A systematic review of the preferences of rural and remote youth for mental health service access: Telehealth versus face‐to‐face consultation

“…It is important to note that the breadth of telehealth services that remotely provide mental health care, both in real time and asynchronously, is growing (e.g. virtual care, remote monitoring, mobile health, and store and forward) 5,16 . Given that few of these different telehealth methods are reflected in this review, further research elucidating if, and how youth preferences change depending on what technology is used would be useful to inform service planning.…”

“…Mental health services were defined as any service provided that was identified and termed as such by the research team/authors who conducted the research. This study adopted a contemporary definition of telehealth as any method of synchronous or asynchronous remote mental health service delivery using information and communication technology 16 . Published quantitative and qualitative research and peer‐reviewed conference abstracts were included if they addressed the inclusion criteria (Table 1).…”

“…There has subsequently been an increasing focus on using telehealth to improve service accessibility where the barrier of distance to mental health care exists 15 . Telehealth is a broad and encompassing term that refers to interactive information exchange through information and communication technologies to support the delivery of health care services 16 . Telehealth can therefore include: (a) real time consultations with a health care provider through either telephone or video conferencing; (b) remote patient monitoring, where devices are used by health providers to monitor patients from a distance; (c) mobile health, which involves applications and smartphones that are patient‐facing that facilitate care or provide education; and (d) store and forward approaches, which are asynchronous and involve the recommendation of interventions based on review of electronic patient information previously sent 16 .…”

Remote Delivery of Vestibular Rehabilitation for Vestibular Dysfunction: A Systematic Review

“…Remote delivery of healthcare has become more important in healthcare, due to the costs and barriers of in person care (13). Telehealth has revolutionized the healthcare landscape by offering effective patient care remotely (13). Telehealth has been described to include four major components: Live communication (e.g., video call), store and forward (e.g., recorded videos for patients to view later), remote patient monitoring (e.g., electronic communications to healthcare providers), and mobile health (e.g., mobile phone applications) (13,14).…”

In addition to traditional telehealth, the development of medical technologies and virtual reality systems has created forms of rehabilitation to perform VRT by oneself (12,(15)(16)(17).…”
