“…In general, patients found this model more convenient, as it helped save time and money, allowed them to better accommodate the neurologist's visit to their schedule, and provided an easier way to renew prescriptions. These findings are in line with the pre–COVID‐19 literature [1,12–22]. An American hospital‐based study with a pediatric cohort concluded that headache teleconsultation was more convenient, less disruptive, and more cost‐effective than a regular appointment [16].…”

“…Moreover, telemedicine eliminates the need for traveling to the hospital, which might be particularly compelling to the 10% of our cohort that spent over 1 h traveling to the hospital. Literature shows that, particularly in patients from remote areas, non-face-to-face visits have high levels of patient acceptance [16,21,22] and satisfaction [14][15][16]21]. Improving the access for patients who live or work far away reduced the cost of care [13,16,22] and increased physician productivity [1].…”

Background and purpose Literature regarding headache teleconsultation and patient satisfaction is scarce. The SARS‐CoV‐2 pandemic led to the restructuring of traditional clinical activity by adopting telemedicine. Our objectives were to evaluate patients' satisfaction with headache teleconsultation by telephone during the SARS‐CoV‐2 pandemic and assess patients' preferred model of appointment (face‐to‐face, teleconsultation by telephone, or both). Methods Patients with a previous diagnosis of primary headache or neuropathies and facial pain disorders, and at least one telephone headache visit during the first wave of COVID‐19, filled out an online questionnaire regarding sociodemographic parameters, satisfaction with teleconsultation, and preferred model of appointment. Results We included 83 patients (valid response rate of 64.3%); most had migraine (83.1%). Regarding teleconsultation, 81.9% considered this model adequate for follow‐up, 88.0% were satisfied with the information provided about the disease/treatment, and 73.5% were satisfied with the medication modification. Ninety percent would agree with a new tele‐evaluation if stable after the pandemic. The mixed model was the preferred medical consultation type for the postpandemic period (43.4%), followed by face‐to‐face visits (33.7%). Conclusions Patients were satisfied with the headache teleconsultation during the COVID‐19 era. However, an exclusive model of telemedicine does not seem suitable for monitoring all patients. A mixed approach could be integrated into clinical practice after the pandemic to optimize health care.

“…Sodobne tehnologije omogočajo komunikacijo med pacientom in zdravstvenim osebjem ter prenos zdravstvenih podatkov v obe smeri. Medtem ko so zametki telemedicine temeljili na telefonu in radiu, sodobne tehnologije danes to nadgrajujejo v videotelefonijo in vzpostavitev aplikacij, ki omogočajo napredne diagnostične metode ter zdravniško oskrbo na daljavo (Chau & Hu, 2002;Perednia & Allen, 1995;Rajan, Seidmann, & Friedman, 2017;Roine, Ohinmaa, & Hailey, 2001).…”

“…Moreover, time can be efficiently be managed on various fronts. There is the possibility of making reports and xray being sent to the doctors without the need of sending the hardcopies via post which can be a sure cause of delay [5]. The existing advancements of technology have made sure that mankind enjoys gains in all kinds of communications without the barriers of time or distance.…”

Abstract-The aim of telemedicine system is to diagnose patients remotely; this includes healthcare provision to patients in far flung areas. The process of remote diagnosis is mainly dependent on bandwidths which are absolutely essential in terms of communications via the networks. Such communications have to be carefully monitored, because randomly sending data across the network and loading of packets as direct stream of cameras would result in chocking the bandwidth. Hence it is extremely important to make sure that the data is compressed so that there is minimum usage of bandwidth. But this has to be done in a way that maintains the quality at its best. This retention of good quality along with minimizing the usage of data is done by means of compression the streams obtained through cameras and then decompressing the data at the other end. This purpose was previously achieved by H.264 codec. Our major target was up gradation of the existing codec by introducing the latest; H.265. The Libde265 (Decoder) and the x265 (encoder) libraries have been used for the purpose of developing the H.265 codec. The H265 is an advanced codec, having better quality and ability to achieve far better compression than its predecessor. It has been shown through the algorithm and coding of H.265 that is has better compressing ability and the quality is maintained during the transmission of videos. This is highly desirable for the field of telemedicine as it can make improvements in providing healthcare services by easing the transmission of data in the form of videos from the patient end to the doctor's end.
