Summary
Finding detailed technical and security information for telemedicine videoconferencing software is challenging. This review guides healthcare providers in selecting secure and effective remote care tools for movement disorder patients.
Area of Science:
- Healthcare Technology
- Digital Health
- Movement Disorders
Background:
- Telemedicine use is rising for patients with movement disorders.
- Ensuring continuity of care requires reliable remote solutions.
- Videoconferencing software is central to modern telemedicine.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate technical and security features of popular telemedicine videoconferencing platforms.
- To identify software suitable for healthcare applications.
- To assess regulatory compliance of selected tools.
Main Methods:
- Systematic review of literature and websites.
- Keywords: Telemedicine, Cybersecurity, Videoconferencing software.
- Analysis of technical capabilities and security features.
Main Results:
- 26 videoconferencing software programs were reviewed.
- 13 (50%) were designed for healthcare; 6 (23%) met EU/US regulations.
- Comprehensive technical/security data found for only 5 platforms (19.2%).
Conclusions:
- Accessible information on telemedicine software capabilities and data security is lacking.
- Guidance is needed for practitioners selecting remote care tools.
- This study offers a framework for evaluating videoconferencing software features.
