Area of Science:
- Digital Health
- Healthcare Delivery
- Patient Adherence
Background:
- Telehealth adoption is transforming healthcare.
- Its impact on treatment adherence versus traditional outpatient departments (OPD) is not well understood.
Purpose of the Study:
- To compare patient adherence to treatment protocols in telehealth versus traditional OPD settings for neck pain patients.
- To assess the impact of telehealth on adherence in neck pain management.
Main Methods:
- Cross-sectional study at SGT University.
- Involved neck pain patients in telehealth and traditional OPD settings.
- Adherence measured via validated scale and electronic health records; statistical analysis used.
Main Results:
- 300 patients participated (150 telehealth, 150 OPD).
- Preliminary findings show differences in adherence rates between groups.
- Convenience and accessibility identified as key factors influencing adherence.
Conclusions:
- Telehealth demonstrates potential to improve treatment adherence over traditional outpatient care.
- Integrating telehealth may enhance patient outcomes for neck pain.
- Further research needed on long-term adherence and underlying mechanisms.
