Telemedicine in the COVID-19 Era: Strengths and Weaknesses_Crimson Publishers

 Telemedicine in the COVID-19 Era: Strengths and Weaknesses by G Olmo in Trends in Telemedicine & E-health


Telemedicine (TLM) has a great innovation potential, and this fact has emerged dramatically in this pandemic period. Besides the monitoring of COVID-19 patients themselves, TLM can improve the followup of affected by chronic diseases, whose access to hospitals and outpatient structures is limited due to the risk connected with the pandemic and the overload experienced by the medical structures and personnel. Hence, this period represents an occasion to experiment new care models. For these purposes, we have implemented a TLM system to help clinicians in the follow-up of COVID-19 patients both in hospital and at home. The same infrastructure has great potential of applications in other fields, e.g., neurodegenerative diseases. During our experiments, we have pointed out some strengths and weaknesses of this novel approach to care. Our conclusion is that, whereas technology and data processing is quite mature, many non-technical aspects have still to be faced in order TLM instruments can enter the daily clinical practice and deeply transform care models.

 Telemedicine and Impact on Health Delivery during COVID by Mohammed Sarwar M in Trends in Telemedicine & E-health The telemedicine practices deliver clinical information and permit consultation and discussion between health-care professionals and patients regardless of where the patient is located, reduce travel expenses, save time, reduce medical costs, and provide easier access for the common man to specialist doctors without disrupting their daily responsibilities. Telemedicine also allows likelihood of better maintenance of records and documentation. In the wake of the ongoing pandemic, telemedicine proves to be an added boon providing the following added benefits to the health‑care provider as well as the patients.

Bio-Informatics Analysis of MetaTranscriptomics Sequencing_Crimson Publishers

 Bio-Informatics Analysis of MetaTranscriptomics Sequencing by Siddharth Vats in Trends Telemedicine & E Health Abstract This mini review has focused on the bioinformatics based meta transcriptomics sequencing. Meta transcriptomics is the study of expression of RNAs, their regulation in and among communities of organisms. The level of complexity increases from one organism to community, from one species to community of species. The different types of software which are used and can help in sequencing are explained in detail here. How this different software is integral part of meta transcriptomics and helps in understanding their expression level, and how the expression level is influenced by the pathological, physiological and biological conditions in organisms. https://crimsonpublishers.com/tteh/pdf/TTEH.000549.pdf For more Open access journals in Crimson Publishers Please click on:  https://crimsonpublishers.com/ For more Articles on Health Informatics please clic...

  Telemedicine/E-health and the Soul of Medical Practice by Eileen E Morrison* in Crimson Publishers: Trends in Telemedicine & E-health Telemedicine, E health and other technologies promise change that can profoundly affect patients and providers. Even a quick scan of topics featured in this journal demonstrates its impact on quality of life, public health concerns, and effectiveness healthcare. However, this powerful area of health care also creates serious issues for patients and providers. This writer is particularly interested in ethics issues that affect the soul of health care.   It is important to consider both patients and providers in this discussion. While it is true that patients come first, serving patients requires an effective, well regulated, and profitable system. From the business side, one hears-no money no care. How do differing views affect ethics as it relates to ethical practices for health technologies? First, consider the patient’s experience. P...
