Each method has advantages and disadvantages over the other” – Pierce noted. “For example, it may be helpful to have a patient’s friend or family member present in a distressing session, or they may find the distress easier to tolerate within the familiarity of their own home. Telepsychology can make it easier to facilitate these situations.” Pierce went deeper in explaining the differences. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Psychologists are trained to attend to non-verbal cues like foot tapping, fidgeting, or body positioning. Many of these cues are missed via telepsychology: simply because the camera is often capturing images of the participants from the shoulders up. “This means a psychologist must rely more heavily on other cues such as slurred speech, unkempt hair, or noticing their patient rocking in their seat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>Before and after\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>This was not the first time Pierce and his team went after telepsychology data. Asking the same questions in 2017, the research found that the most often cited barriers were 1) lack of specific training with telepsychology 2) patient safety 3) privacy concerns and 4) legal issues. Many psychologists were never educated on remote care solutions within their training programs to use them effectively. It is also crucial to recognize who the method is appropriate for, and which solutions and therapies are effective via telepsychology. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>As a result of COVID-19, the demand for distance psychological care has increased astonishingly. And as we have seen, psychologists have done everything they can to meet the changed requirements and learn the use of the technology. However, fine-tuning the system is important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“Our research back then suggested that psychologists were significantly more likely to use it if they 1) knew it would be effective and 2) that it was easy to use.

Telemedicine should become such an integral part of the healthcare system in the future that it would not be labeled as “telemedicine” anymore but just another ordinary way to talk to peers or patients. Until that happens, let’s see the top telemedicine solutions out there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003C!--more-->\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>The “teledactyl” wanted to feel patients at a distance\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Telemedicine is usually depicted as a new technology that needs to be pushed into the everyday delivery of healthcare even if it is difficult to underscore its importance and support its effectiveness. I aim to prove that this is a wrong approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>First, telemedicine is not something coming out of the blue, the demand for it existed way before its advancement. At the dawn of the radio age, in 1925, \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.smithsonianmag.com\u002Fhistory\u002Ftelemedicine-predicted-in-1925-124140942\u002F?no-ist\">Hugo Gernsback, a never-resting German technologist invented the concept of the “teledactyl”\u003C\u002Fa> that would allow doctors to not only see their patients through a viewscreen but also touch them from miles away with spindly robot arms. As Gernsback explained it, the device would have made it possible to “feel at a distance”. He basically described the function and aim of telemedicine – going a “tiny bit” further than technology would allow it today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>But the need for healing from a distance was already there (more than) a century ago. Patients who could or would not want to go into cities or doctors who yearned for consulting a specialist colleague, they all wished for something to make their lives easier. That something is telemedicine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-image\">\u003Cfigure class=\"aligncenter\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"537\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002F1712507217.rsc.cdn77.org\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F08\u002F1925-feb-science-and-invention-sm-cover.jpg\" alt=\"top telemedicine solutions\" class=\"wp-image-16190\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F08\u002F1925-feb-science-and-invention-sm-cover.jpg 550w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F08\u002F1925-feb-science-and-invention-sm-cover-512x500.jpg 512w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F08\u002F1925-feb-science-and-invention-sm-cover-256x250.jpg 256w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>Telemedicine belongs to the core of practicing medicine\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Second, the essence of practicing medicine has been obtaining as much data about the patient’s health or disease as possible and making decisions based on that.

When they face an unprecedented issue or a hard decision to make, they can consult colleagues at the same institutions or make phone calls; maybe share experience in a medical event. Lately, they have had the chance to do the same through online channels too, from instant messaging to social media.

Moreover, we cannot expect doctors to visit every patient, especially if you look at the data about the shortage of medical professionals. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that there is a worldwide shortage of around 4.3 million physicians, nurses, and allied health workers.

Ole Eichhorn, InTouch Health’s CTO told me that they have a physician group using their technology who serve Inuit populations living in the Arctic. Many of these people live in cities which are completely inaccessible except via dog sleds and seaplanes landing on ice. Bringing emergency medical expertise to these communities via telemedicine solutions has been live-changing, and without exception they have embraced it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"870\" height=\"659\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002F1712507217.rsc.cdn77.org\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F08\u002Fintouch-health.png\" alt=\"InTouch Health\" class=\"wp-image-16431\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F08\u002Fintouch-health.png 870w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F08\u002Fintouch-health-768x582.png 768w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F08\u002Fintouch-health-512x388.png 512w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F08\u002Fintouch-health-330x250.png 330w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Considering doctor shortages, huge distances between patients and caregivers as well as packed schedules of medical professionals and the average person, telemedicine seems to be the natural solution in the digital age.
