“Growing Adoption of Telemedicine in TBI Treatment”
- Telemedicine allows patients to receive remote consultations and rehabilitation services, improving access to specialized care for individuals in rural or underserved areas, thus facilitating timely intervention for TBI patients
- Utilizing telehealth reduces the costs associated with in-person visits, including travel expenses and lost productivity, making it a financially viable option for both patients and healthcare providers
- In March 2021, NCBI stated that Telehealth visits for patients with acquired brain injuries and their caregivers can ease the burden of transportation, improve compliance, and increase overall satisfaction. Management strategies are largely unaffected in the telehealth setting, and telerehab options have been found to be equal or superior to in-person therapy to treat many associated deficits
- Telemedicine platforms enable continuous monitoring and follow-up care, allowing healthcare professionals to track patient progress remotely, provide real-time feedback, and adjust treatment plans as necessary, ultimately enhancing patient outcomes in TBI management
