Area of Science:

  • Medical Technology
  • Digital Health
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Telemedicine adoption is growing, but concerns about realism and patient experience persist.
  • Traditional 2D telemedicine may not fully replicate the nuances of in-person consultations.
  • Improving the quality of remote interactions is crucial for patient satisfaction and effective healthcare delivery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the effectiveness of 3D versus 2D telemedicine consultations.
  • To evaluate patient 'presence', usability, mental effort, and satisfaction in both formats.
  • To assess the inclusivity and potential of 3D telemedicine in plastic surgery.

Main Methods:

  • A randomized crossover trial involving 80 patients at a UK Plastic Surgery Unit.
  • Utilized the Presence scale, Telehealth Usability Questionnaire (TUQ), Mental Effort Rating Scale, and satisfaction surveys.
  • Collected data from 2022 to 2023, analyzing both quantitative and qualitative feedback.

Main Results:

  • 3D telemedicine achieved significantly higher 'presence' scores than 2D (p<0.001).
  • All secondary outcomes, including TUQ, mental effort, and satisfaction, were superior for 3D telemedicine (p<0.001).
  • The technology proved inclusive across diverse demographics, with 3D aiding understanding of complex procedures.

Conclusions:

  • 3D telemedicine offers superior realism, interaction quality, and user experience compared to 2D.
  • The enhanced realism of 3D telemedicine can help bridge the gap between virtual and in-person consultations.
  • This technology supports a more personalized medicine approach, particularly in surgical consent processes.
