Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Medical Telecommunications

Background:

  • Occupational asbestosis poses diagnostic challenges, particularly in remote areas.
  • Telemedicine is increasingly adopted across various medical specialties.
  • Asbestos exposure remains a significant occupational hazard in certain industries.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility of applying telemedicine in diagnosing occupational asbestosis.
  • To explore the benefits of telemedicine for patients and healthcare systems in asbestos-affected regions.
  • To present a case study for application in Croatia.

Main Methods:

  • Review of telemedicine applications in medical diagnostics.
  • Case study focusing on a Croatian town with an asbestos plant.
  • Analysis of potential benefits including reduced absenteeism and travel costs.

Main Results:

  • Telemedicine offers a viable solution for diagnosing occupational asbestosis.
  • Potential for significant reduction in employee absenteeism and travel expenses.
  • Faster diagnostic procedures can lead to improved patient outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Telemedicine can enhance the diagnosis of occupational asbestosis, especially in remote or underserved areas.
  • Implementation of telemedicine can improve the overall health of populations near asbestos facilities.
  • The Croatian context demonstrates the broad applicability of telemedicine in occupational health.
