Limitations Of Telemedicine Vs. Face-To-Face Eye Examination In A Patient With New Headaches, 2023 Northport VAMC, Private Practice
Limitations Of Telemedicine Vs. Face-To-Face Eye Examination In A Patient With New Headaches, Joseph Hallak, Od, Danielle Kalberer, Od
Optometric Clinical Practice
Background: During the emergence and rise of COVID-19, precaution directives and limitations on in-person eye examinations re-routed a significant portion of care to telemedicine and virtual modalities. While these technologies allowed for healthcare communications that otherwise could not occur during such trying times, there are major limitations to these sanctioned applications. This report will present a seemingly benign case that could have easily been re-routed from an in-person examination to a telemedicine version due to the patient’s seemingly “routine” vision complaints.
Case Report: A 50-year-old male patient contacted the eye clinic with a complaint of a minor, new, unexplained headache …

Martin, Leonardo S. Uy Iii
Philippine Journal of Physical Therapy
Introduction: Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the Philippines, so these patients must continuously undergo rehabilitation for faster recovery. With the rise of COVID-19, physical therapy (PT) telerehabilitation (TR) has emerged, where services are provided outside the usual rehabilitation setting for patients with stroke to continue their treatment while reducing the risk of acquiring COVID-19. However, it is a relatively new service in the country; hence, further research is needed to identify the factors and needs of these patients during TR, which may help improve PT TR services.
Objective: This study aims to explore the experiences …

Telemedicine, Not The Panacea We Thought It Would Be. A Tale Of Caution, 2023 Rochester General Hospital
Telemedicine, Not The Panacea We Thought It Would Be. A Tale Of Caution, Ahmed Elkhapery, Syed Faiz Abbas, Basil George Verghese
Advances in Clinical Medical Research and Healthcare Delivery
In the last few decades, the growing use of telemedicine has allowed access to healthcare at reduced costs and increased monitoring of chronic conditions, especially in underserved and rural areas. It is a tool of great value in low-income countries where there is a paucity of specialists. In the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, telemedicine was used to screen patients with COVID-19 like symptoms and send them to test sites directly. This helped minimize unnecessary healthcare staff and patient exposure to the infection and helped decompress ERs. Due to a lack of testing resources, many mildly symptomatic patients were presumed …

Computer Vision-Based Hand Tracking And 3d Reconstruction As A Human-Computer Input Modality With Clinical Application, Tania Banerjee
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
The recent pandemic has impeded patients with hand injuries from connecting in person with their therapists. To address this challenge and improve hand telerehabilitation, we propose two computer vision-based technologies, photogrammetry and augmented reality as alternative and affordable solutions for visualization and remote monitoring of hand trauma without costly equipment. In this thesis, we extend the application of 3D rendering and virtual reality-based user interface to hand therapy. We compare the performance of four popular photogrammetry software in reconstructing a 3D model of a synthetic human hand from videos captured through a smartphone. The visual quality, reconstruction time and geometric …
