“…Many low-income patients in poor healthcare access areas have reported improved patient satisfaction with telemedicine, as well as reduced wait times, reduced lost work time, reduced expenses for traveling to appointments (some patients travel up to 200 miles to see specialists), and not needing to arrange transportation from family or friends. [19][20][21] This trend has encouraged some patients to make their appointments and healthcare a priority if they can continue their appointments via telemedicine. 19,21 Telemedicine was first described as an option for clinician access in the 1970s, but acceptance around the world did not happen until the 2000s.…”

Telemedicine use expanded rapidly during the COVID-19 pandemic, giving patients access to quality care while reducing the spread of infection. Although beneficial changes were made to reimbursement and privacy guidelines to increase the ease of telemedicine for clinicians, the lack of digital devices, Internet, digital knowledge, and trust in this method of delivery are potential barriers to telemedicine for healthcare visits, and may have widened the care gap for underserved patients. To ensure that patients of all socioeconomic levels have access to telemedicine requires education, expanding broadband Internet access across the United States, and offering free or reduced Internet services to patients in need.

“…Numerous studies were conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic, which concluded that smartphone-enabled ECG devices are ideal for simple arrhythmia assessments when used in an outpatient setting to identify clinical deterioration in patients with a stable COVID-19 infection, or to preserve hospital capacity needed during the pandemic, and in turn decrease the risk of nosocomial infections, including COVID-19. Nevertheless, doubts still remain whether such ECG devices may be adequate for a more complex ECG evaluation [11].…”

The 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) is a first-line diagnostic tool for patients with cardiac symptoms. As observed during the COVID-19 pandemic, the ECG is essential to the initial patient evaluation. The novel KardioPal three-lead-based ECG reconstructive technology provides a potential alternative to a standard ECG, reducing the response time and cost of treatment and improving patient comfort. Our study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of a reconstructed 12-lead ECG obtained by the KardioPal technology, comparing it with the standard 12-lead ECG, and to assess the feasibility and time required to obtain a reconstructed ECG in a real-life scenario. A prospective, nonrandomized, single-center, adjudicator-blinded trial was conducted on 102 patients during the COVID-19 pandemic at the Dedinje Cardiovascular Institute in Belgrade. The KardioPal system demonstrated a high feasibility rate (99%), with high specificity (96.3%), sensitivity (95.8%), and diagnostic accuracy (96.1%) for obtaining clinically relevant matching of reconstructed 12-lead compared to the standard 12-lead ECG recording. This novel technology provided a significant reduction in ECG acquisition time and the need for personnel and space for obtaining ECG recordings, thereby reducing the risk of viral transmission and the burden on an already overwhelmed healthcare system such as the one experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic.
