Purpose Advances in bioinformatics, information technology, advanced computing, imaging techniques are changing fundamentally the way physicians define, diagnose, treat, and prevent disease. New disciplines – Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Computational Biology – are improving healthcare. Digital health solutions have immense scope. Education and practice need to keep pace. Methods We aimed at assessment of “Technology proficiency” required by medical graduates and its implementation, if found useful. All this in a conceptual framework of “TP” model, having categories (a) proper assessment (b) pertinent treatment (c) progress monitoring (d) prevention applications (e) professional standards. A search of the literature was performed using MedLine & Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases, for systematic reviews and meta-analysis articles published in the last five years using keyword “technology”. Analysis of those relevant to the role all medical graduates should play. An analysis of worldwide statutory medical institutions guidelines. Results Twenty-three systematic studies and meta-analysis were studied. Eighteen show clear evidence for ‘Technology proficiency”, while 5 recommend further studies. The findings are discussed suiting the roles of doctors in the “TP” model. Medical institutions guidelines worldwide diligence suggests need of including “Technology proficiency” as a definite and distinct strategic plan. Medical Council of India mandates “use information technology for appropriate patient care and continued learning”. General Medical Council, UK and Medical Council India have been proactive in technology training. GMC recommends technology use for learning, prescribing, communication, and interpersonal skills. It should be expanding technology proficiency in practice as an essential professional capability. Conclusion “Technology proficiency” is found pertinently fruitful. It should be included as a definitive requirement and a distinct strategic plan worldwide. Modern curriculum development is proposed (i) Educational goals and objectives as the proposed Conceptual framework “Technology proficiency” model (ii) Instructional strategies ‘Five Bs’ (iii) Implementation ‘Five Ms’.

Telemedicine as a strategic intervention for cognitive rehabilitation in MS patients during COVID-19

2022

The recent COVID-19 pandemic has taken the lives of nearly 5.2 million up to now. With no definite treatment and considering close contact as the primary mode of transmission, telemedicine has emerged as an essential medical care platform. Virtual medical communications have offered clinicians the opportunity to visit and follow up on patients more efficiently during the lockdown. Not only has telemedicine improved multiple sclerosis (MS) patients’ health and quality of life during the pandemic, but it could also be used as a cost-effective platform for physical and cognitive MS rehabilitation programs. Cognitive impairment is a common problem among MS patients even at the initial phases of the disease. Rehabilitation training programs such as RehaCom, BrainHQ, Speed of Processing Training (PST), and COGNI-TRAcK have made great strides in improving a wide range of cognitive functions that MS patients are challenged with. Regarding the impact of COVID-19 on the cognitive aspects of MS patients, efforts to implement rehabilitation training applications have been increased. Web-based mobile applications, virtual visits, and telephone follow-ups are examples of such efforts. Having said that, limitations such as privacy, socioeconomic disparities, e-health literacy, study settings, and challenges of neurologic examinationss have been raised. Since most MS patients are young, all the beneficiaries are encouraged to embrace the research in the field to pave the road for more feasible and efficient ways of cognitive enhancement in MS patients.
