Telemedicine enhances vascular surgery patient care through remote consultations and monitoring. Further research is needed to overcome implementation barriers for widespread clinical adoption.
Area of Science:
- Medical Informatics
- Vascular Surgery
- Digital Health
Background:
- Telemedicine offers transformative potential in healthcare delivery.
- Digital health applications are prevalent in cardiovascular diseases but under-investigated in vascular surgery.
- This review focuses on telemedicine applications within vascular surgery.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review telemedicine applications in vascular surgery.
- To highlight benefits, limitations, and future directions of these technologies.
- To explore the integration of digital health in managing vascular conditions.
Main Methods:
- Literature search of the MEDLINE database using specific keywords.
- Identification of studies on telehealth/telemedicine for aortic, peripheral artery, and carotid diseases.
- Comprehensive review of digital applications, intended uses, benefits, and limitations.
Main Results:
- Telemedicine platforms facilitate teleconsultation, telemonitoring, and telecoaching for improved patient management.
- Applications aim to support remote consultations, enhance patient education, self-management, and treatment adherence.
- Digital tools can aid in lifestyle change adherence and follow-up care.
Conclusions:
- Telemedicine provides novel avenues for improving healthcare access in remote areas and optimizing patient care.
- Patient empowerment and personalized follow-up through telemedicine contribute to precision medicine.
- Significant ethical, legal, technical, economic, and cultural challenges must be addressed for clinical implementation.
