“…Although this form of visit gained importance during the pandemic because it was easily accessible for most patients, its quality was not always satisfactory. In addition to teleconsultation, telemonitoring of patients after myocardial infarction has developed, including e-oximeter, allowing for monitoring of heart rhythm and blood saturation [35][36][37].…”

This pilot study was conducted on the reported hypothesis that the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak had an impact on the accessibility and quality of healthcare services and exacerbated socioeconomic inequalities. The aim was to determine whether economic status and education had an impact on the perception of access and quality to healthcare services during the COVID-19 pandemic and whether, according to patients, accessibility and quality had changed significantly compared to the pre-pandemic period in Poland. The study was based on the authors’ questionnaire and the results were statistically analyzed. Two hundred forty-seven feedback responses were received with a responsiveness rate of 93 percent. Statistically significant differences were found when comparing education level and utilization of healthcare services during the COVID-19 pandemic. A comparison of gender and economic situation, and average monthly income found no statistically significant differences. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has undoubtedly affected the provision of health services in many countries around the world. One result of the pandemic crisis has been widening socioeconomic inequalities among patients.

“…Concurrently, a survey during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic revealed a similar reluctance from patients, who doubted telemedicine’s effectiveness in adequately assessing skin lesions. This scepticism was underscored by the fact that 96.6% of dermatologists needed additional in-office visits or extra pictures due to unclear clinical images [ 87 ]. Another study during the pandemic on the Polish population echoed these concerns, noting the fear of missing serious illnesses without direct contact.…”

Teledermatology is a dynamically developing field of medicine with the potential to significantly impact the future functioning of the healthcare system, including the prevention, diagnostics, and treatment of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). While its implementation has resolved numerous issues associated with the traditional patient management model for STIs, the risk associated with handling sensitive patient data in a virtual space must not be overlooked. This article presents a literature review regarding the application of teledermatology in the diagnostics and treatment of STIs, with a particular focus on addressing relevant problems, potential obstacles, and examining the impact of the COVID-19 global epidemic on the development of this field.

“…A similar trend in TC uptake has also been observed in other countries, including Australia, Canada, and the United States [ 40 , 41 , 42 ]. In August 2020, a study of Polish patients found half to be satisfied with TCs [ 39 ]; however, later studies revealed more negative attitudes, particularly among those with chronic diseases or experiencing emergencies, who complained that TCs were replacing visits instead of supplementing them [ 43 , 44 ]. However, the preferences and experiences of Polish PwDs in this context remain unstudied.…”

With the proliferation of telemedicine during the COVID-19 pandemic, attention began to turn to the risk of health disparities associated with its use among people with disabilities. Therefore, the present study investigates the level of interest in using teleconsultations (TCs) in primary healthcare among people with visual impairments (PVIs) and identifies their motivations and needs. A total of 219 Polish PVIs were surveyed using a combination of closed and open questions. About 50% of the respondents expressed interest in using TCs. The factor most closely related to the willingness to use TCs was age. The predominant reason for using TCs was to obtain a prescription or referral, and the most highlighted need was the possibility to choose between a TC and an in-person visit. The blind and poor-sighted participants differed in some regards. Our study indicates that TCs, under some conditions, may be a beneficial option for PVIs, and provides some directions for its effective implementation.
