“…They found accuracy of 97.7% with 100% sensitivity and 94.4% specificity. Furthermore KApicioglu M et al [18] evaluated the reliability of WhatsApp application in assessing the X ray images of children between 2 and 10 years of age with supracondylar fracture of humerus compared with the Picture Archiving and Communication system (PACS). They found that WhatsApp is an effective and accurate in managing these injuries in emergency setup.…”

Background: With restrictions on face to face clinical consultations in the COVID-19 pandemic and the challenges faced by health care systems in delivering patient care, alternative information technologies like telemedicine and smartphone are playing a key role. Aims: We assess the role and applications of smartphone technology as an extension of telemedicine in provide continuity of care to our patients and surveillance during the current COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: We have done a comprehensive review of the literature using suitable keywords on the search engines of PubMed, SCOPUS, Google Scholar and Research Gate in the first week of May 2020. Results: Through the published literature on this topic, we discuss role, common applications and its support in extended role of telemedicine technology in several aspects of current COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusion: Smartphone technology on its own and as extension of telemedicine has significant applications in the current COVID-19 pandemic. As the smartphone technology further evolves with fifth generation cellular network expansion, it is going to play a key role in future of health medicine, patient referral, consultation, ergonomics and many other extended applications of health care.

“…Social restrictions have been imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic, such as those on face-to-face clinical consultations and the increased use of alternative technologies such as telemedicine and the use of smartphones [ 11 ]. Studies have reported the successful use of smartphones for fracture diagnosis in musculoskeletal trauma cases [ 12 ] and for the identification of pediatric supracondylar fractures [ 13 ]. In particular, 5G smartphone technology is a step forward in connection speed and efficiency, with the potential to facilitate web-based interactions as close to in-person activities, including patient consultations, monitoring, and high-speed data file transfer, including imaging studies [ 14 ].…”

Background Traditional radiology fellowships are usually 1- or 2-year clinical training programs in a specific area after completion of a 4-year residency program. Objective This study aimed to investigate the experience of fellowship applicants in answering radiology questions in an audiovisual format using their own smartphones after answering radiology questions in a traditional printed text format as part of the application process during the COVID-19 pandemic. We hypothesized that fellowship applicants would find that recorded audiovisual radiology content adds value to the conventional selection process, may increase engagement by using their own smartphone device, and facilitate the understanding of imaging findings of radiology-based questions, while maintaining social distancing. Methods One senior staff radiologist of each subspecialty prepared 4 audiovisual radiology questions for each subspecialty. We conducted a survey using web-based questionnaires for 123 fellowship applications for musculoskeletal (n=39), internal medicine (n=61), and neuroradiology (n=23) programs to evaluate the experience of using audiovisual radiology content as a substitute for the conventional text evaluation. Results Most of the applicants (n=122, 99%) answered positively (with responses of “agree” or “strongly agree”) that images in digital forms are of superior quality to those printed on paper. In total, 101 (82%) applicants agreed with the statement that the presentation of cases in audiovisual format facilitates the understanding of the findings. Furthermore, 81 (65%) candidates agreed or strongly agreed that answering digital forms is more practical than conventional paper forms. Conclusions The use of audiovisual content as part of the selection process for radiology fellowships is a new approach to evaluate the potential to enhance the applicant’s experience during this process. This technology also allows for the evaluation of candidates without the need for in-person interaction. Further studies could streamline these methods to minimize work redundancy with traditional text assessments or even evaluate the acceptance of using only audiovisual content on smartphones.

“…Nota-se que a aplicabilidade do Whatsapp é ampla, dada à diversidade dos profissionais e serviços que os utilizam. [17][18][19] Cumpre mencionar também que, a partir dessa tecnologia, houve significativa melhora na comunicação entre os profissionais dos serviços, sob a forma de compar-tilhamento de diagnósticos, informações de pacientes, pedidos de exames, evidências fotográficas, informações sobre acidentes, alertas críticos e listas de deveres. 20,21 Outro benefício que merece destaque é a troca de informação entre os profissionais que estão no serviço e aqueles que estão de longe como especialistas.…”
