Telemedicine though not a newer concept to healthcare community, it is relatively a new acquaintance to both healthcare providers and the general public. Since 11th of March 2020, the day when WHO declared COVID-19 infection as pandemic, the telemedicine services had achieved quick popularity. In fact this pandemic boosted a solid foundation for telemedicine and now it is one among the scope of services offered by any reputed healthcare organization globally. This article aims to emphasize how a symbiosis between telemedicine, POCT and mobile health units can help to deliver a high quality healthcare eliminating the risk of infection spread to both patients and health care providers. The methodology adopted includes collective viewpoints of authors which are based upon working experience gained during the current pandemic and literature review of recent and relevant articles related to process and pitfalls of telemedicine. Literature search was conducted by searching using key words and phrases like ‘Telemedicine’, ‘COVID-19 and Telemedicine’ and ‘Non- Communicable Diseases management during pandemic’. The scope and gaps observed by literature survey and personal experience included infrastructure, awareness and training of both health care providers and patient population, utilization of POCT devices, internet connectivity, need for an nationwide unified Health Information Management System (HIMS) to aid easy access to patient health information and easy referrals to higher centers. In summary telemedicine is an absolute necessity during this on-going pandemic and its enhancement by integration with artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms is a real need of hour.

“…Six Indian teaching hospitals used technology for surgical training in the field of endocrinology, gastrointestinal surgery and urology. 19 Yadav also reports that minimal numbers of tele-mentoring guided surgeries have been conducted. Though increasingly common in the western countries, use of technology for surgical training and practice is currently low in India, but is expected to grow in the future.…”

Irrespective of geography, the implementation of telehealth has been one of the biggest changes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Post the pandemic, telehealth will continue to be part of mainstream health service delivery but in a different format. This commentary investigates the hybrid model of telehealth in India. A hybrid model can help India provide accessible and affordable healthcare to a wider part of its population and support the already growing medical tourism industry. The challenges to this revolve around digital education for patients and providers, integration of technology into existing care pathways, infrastructural investment and in creating seamless systems. It is a scalable and profitable model that must be seriously considered in the post pandemic world.

Objective: General practitioners in rural clinics are required to deal with musculoskeletal problems, but they often lack the confidence. We aim to confirm changes in their confidence in orthopedic practices after using tele-education. Materials and Methods: We conducted tele-education in orthopedic practices from June 1, 2022, to November 30, 2022. Using a teleconference system, the first author, an orthopedic specialist, provided tele-education training to an independent general practitioner in a rural clinic. We adopted a 7-point Likert scale to assess the general practitioner's confidence levels. In pre-and postresearch, the counts and confidence levels in the scale were assessed for 18 types of orthopedic practices each month. Furthermore, we interviewed the general practitioner to examine the factors influencing their confidence. Results:The confidence levels increased for all measurement items. The most experienced orthopedic practice was "Advising on daily care for musculoskeletal problems", with confidence levels increasing from 3 to 6. The least experienced orthopedic practice was "Manipulative reduction of radial head subluxation", with confidence levels increasing from 4 to 5. The factors that influenced the change in confidence levels were regular feedback and unrestricted availability of consultations. Conclusion: Tele-education in orthopedics may enhance general practitioners' confidence in orthopedic practices.
