Telemedicine has shown to be a very beneficial tool for children, one that helps connect the child and their family with different types of healthcare services. Telemedicine has been shown to help with pediatric age groups by providing tools for virtual visits, symptom surveys, and monitoring their vital parameters. Telemedicine also provides necessary education and support.
Studies about the efficacy of telemedicine in a pediatric healthcare clinic suggest that parents find telemedicine visits more convenient and less of a disruption to the daily lives of themselves and their children. Conditions shown to be effectively managed through telemedicine include behavioral health needs, medical complexities, acute needs, and routine exams for various health conditions. When a child needs to access their doctor for on-demand sick visits or acute needs, for example, a rash, cold, minor illness, pink eye, acne, constipation, minor trauma (cuts, abrasions), or minor GI issues, telehealth is a fantastic tool and one that is convenient and accessible.
Around the world, pediatric patients, their families, and caregivers are using telemedicine to manage a range of healthcare needs including Asthma, Diabetes, Genetic conditions, behavioral health, autism support, speech therapy, obesity treatment, neonatal and infant care, and many more conditions.
