What is the role of Telemedicine in Neurological treatment?
Neurologic issues, both urgent and non-urgent can be addressed through Teleneurology. The most popular one i.e., Telestroke has enabled doctors to deliver acute stroke treatment faster, safer and more often than before.
(firmenpresse) - Delivering Neurological Care by way of TeleNeurology
“The notion of ‘going towards the doctor’ is becoming just one modality for accessing care”. Words of Dr. Wechsler appear relevant inside the existing scenario, doesn’t it? Together with the rapid transition from avoiding visits to a hospital to availing of services online, the pandemic has changed the complete ball game. Particularly in regards to the ‘ most sceptic’ method towards taking medical opinion and consulting medical doctors online for neurological situations. The advent of Teleneurology may be recent but the transition and adoption of this kind of consultation for brain and spine problems are bringing comfort plus a significantly necessary relieved to families across the globe.
The What and How
So what is Teleneurology? It really is a branch of telemedicine that offers consultations for neurological problems remotely to supplement in-person neurological care. This can be primarily performed via phone or video call/conferencing. Waiting time = zero, access to care during the important time - verify!
You will find primarily two hyperlinks used in Teleneurology. One will be the synchronous hyperlink or even a real-time consultation that is a two-way audio-visual link in between a patient and a doctor present at the identical time but not in the same place (live video-conferencing). The other is really a store and forward links or an asynchronous link that entails acquiring medical information, then transmitting this information for the specialist at a practical time for offline assessment (like emails).
Conditions that can be catered by means of Teleneurology
Neurologic challenges, each urgent and non-urgent could be addressed via Teleneurology. By far the most well known one i.e., Telestroke has enabled medical doctors to provide acute stroke treatment more rapidly, safer and more generally than just before.
Neurology telemedicine for acute stroke has already demonstrated clinical efficacy and cost-effectiveness by raising the numbers of thrombolysis-eligible individuals who may be treated in a timely fashion. A case in 2012, exactly where as quickly as the patient was admitted towards the hospital the primary care doctor suspected acute stroke symptoms. He initiated a web conference with their professional neurologist who evaluated the patient’s situation and his CT scans, all online. Within 30 minutes (stroke is time-sensitive and every single minute is precious); a choice for injecting a clot-busting medicine (tPA) was created along with the doctor present took it via, saving the patient’s life and decreasing the risk of permanent brain damage.
Chronic neurological situations such as headache, dementia, epilepsy, stroke, and movement disorders, and numerous sclerosis might be monitored by means of Teleneurology also. For instance; a neurologist can gauge early symptoms of dementia by conducting cognitive measurement interviews through telephone or teleconferences inside the presence of a patient’s family members. Early identification aids in figuring out proper treatment plans to mitigate dangers and possibly delay progression.
1 out of 100 people in India suffers from epilepsy so this kind of telemedicine can work wonders for epileptic individuals who generally have difficulty in traveling. Now, nursing clinics will likely be in a position to offer you improved medication tips for their patients with the neurologist reviewing the EEG benefits using teleconferencing tools.
Benefits
Teleneurology allows patients to obtain their individualized care remotely for living lives to its fullest in spite of the progress of your neurodegenerative disease. Some other benefits are:
It reduces the average time of clinic/hospital stay
Tends to make the experience extra comfortable inside a home setting
Take away barriers to a medical facility as a result of distance, disability, mobility, anxiousness, and impairments
Tele neurology visits are much more prompt and focused
Delivers access to ‘specialist and super specialists’ for follow-up care
Advances And Limitation Of TeleNeurology
Inside the words of Levine “Teleneurology may be the next greatest issue, but it will not be the most beneficial thing.” His words hold true in this context, in spite of several benefits; Teleneurology possesses the limitation of ‘hands-on- examination’ which is required in certain cases. By way of example, a subtle nystagmus (reflexes and muscle tone test) examination cannot be performed virtually. But with all the worldwide proliferation of technologies, neurological care and remote education with the utilization of this upcoming technology, has the possible to improve and raise access to medical care for billions of people in the nation.
The Telemedicine Society of India is contributing to making much-needed awareness with regards to Teleneurology to make it an integral part of our health care delivery system. And all we need to have can be a transform in our mindset towards the adoption of Telehealth so, that every person can avail of its benefits on time.
Conclusion
It is time to leverage the flexibility of telehealth from home through the COVID 19 pandemic and beyond it at the same time. Teleneurology provides a high standard of care, offers the most effective attainable treatment options, assists in managing prescriptions, and coordinates neurologic care plans with family, caregivers, and also other physicians. But, it can be not the only or ultimate future of health care; it really is how best we provide the elements of neurological care to our sufferers now in their comfort zone.
