Economic Barriers to Care 6. Time and Risk Preference Explaining Behaviour 7. Geographic Barriers to Chronic Disease Care 8. Acceptability of Information Technology

11 Tech. 1: Tele-health?

12 What is telehealth?

13 What is telehealth? our definition: two-way interactions between doctor and patient, which replace a usual clinical encounter

14 Tech. 2: Mob devices?

15 SMS (text message) support educate empower send reminders a written record engage our definition: one-way message from provider to patient

16 Examples US: diagnostics, interventional procedures Clinical assessment (Guided surgery)

17 Old paradigm (e.g., US) Certified sonographer at the bed-side unavailable in geographically isolated areas Images generation unavailable However, non-radiologist MDs do perform US guided diagnostic and intervention procedures for specific issues

18 New paradigm Tele-Mentored US imaging: novice US operator generates interpretable (real-time verified) images under the remote guidance of a board-certified sonographer Operator: nurse, MD, any novice; level of care delivery depends on the training Decisions made remotely

19 TMUS concept Pioneered by Dr. Hamilton et al while with NASA (space medicine) Further proven during Turin Olympics (experts at Henry Ford Hospital) NASA and HFH developed and tested a bilingual training module for training

22 TC system in Canada HS connectivity to all locations, still suboptimally used in remote areas Fiber-optic backbones everywhere under 60 LAT Above 60 LAT connectivity increasingly dependent on commercially provided satellite communication and geosynchronous satellite systems

24 Pilot testing

25 Other remote applications McBeth et al., J Trauma 2011

26 TH requires An operator (GUI may simply require to hold a probe on a patient) A reliable tool (more or less simple often only a stethoscope) Geosynchronous communication system
