Evaluating the potential impact of a mobile telemedicine system on coordination of specialty care for patients with complicated oral lesions in Botswana

Abstract: Mobile telemedicine involves the use of mobile device (e.g., cell phones, tablets) technology to exchange information to assist in the provision of patient care. Throughout the world, mobile telemedicine initiatives are increasing in number and in scale, but literature on their impact on patient outcomes in low-resource areas is limited. This study explores the potential impact of a mobile oral telemedicine system on the oral health specialty referral system in Botswana. Analysis of 26 eligible cases from June… Show more

“…Few studies have explored the feasibility of computed radiography and telemedicine in a resource-limited setting [10], and aimed to show a measurable potential effect on diagnosis data should be made to data.sharing@msf.org and oca.research@london.msf.org, requesting access to the data set entitled: OCA016- 17 and treatment through implementation of these tools [11]. Providing measures of the impact of computed radiography and telemedicine in such contexts could be important for decision makers, particularly in countries where needs are high, yet infrastructure is low and there is constant competition for limited resources and funding.…”

“…O mais recente estudo selecionado na composição dessa revisão integrativa explorou o impacto potencial de um sistema de telemedicina oral móvel na especialidade de saúde bucal. Os autores sugerem que a Teleodontologia pode otimizar o uso de hipóteses diagnósticas e habilidades de especialistas, em regiões remotas, onde os dentistas são escassos 29 .…”

“…Telemedicine has been successfully deployed in dermatology (1925), ophthalmology (26,27), HIV prevention and care (28), clinical psychology and psychiatry (29,30), neurosurgery (31), radiology (3235), and non-commuicable diseases including hypertension (3638). Overall, the most successful telemedicine endeavors in SSA have relied on international collaborative efforts between centers in Africa and counterparts in North America or Europe.…”
