Purpose Of Review:
This paper reviews the clinical applications, technology, and evidence supporting the use of telemedicine devices and telehealth in neuromuscular disease.
Recent Findings:
The COVID-19 pandemic interrupted standard multidisciplinary care of patients with neuromuscular disease and created a need to adapt to remote care. Telemedicine applications were rapidly introduced and have rapidly proved an important tool in maintaining specialist care. This review presents the current data being gathered identifying the patients who benefit from telehealth applications, the appropriate type of telemedicine approach to specific conditions, the conditions needed to optimise telehealth approaches, and potential pitfalls and limitations in their use.
Summary:
Telemedicine is an important tool in providing robust remote care for patients with neuromuscular disorders, but further investigation is needed to optimise applications.
