Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess the accuracy and reliability of using mobile intra-oral photos for tele-screening dental caries, addressing the need for alternative dental care access methods.
  • Participants had their teeth initially examined at a dental hospital and then took photos at home, which were reviewed by trained dental students to evaluate the performance of this approach.
  • Results showed high sensitivity (94%) and specificity (90%) for patient-delivered tele-screening, suggesting it can be a viable method for dental screening while ensuring quality care despite service limitations.

Purpose: To describe the immediate consequences of SARS-CoV-2 and the COVID-19 pandemic on the ocular surface and eye-care professionals, and to discuss the need for a mandatory switch from currently performed tele-screening to true teleconsultation for remote ocular surface assessment.

Main Findings: Ophthalmologists have been largely impacted by the COVID-19 sanitary crisis, due to both the ocular manifestations of SARS-CoV-2 and to the high contagiousness of the virus. The proximity of ophthalmologists to their patients have pushed eye-care providers to readapt their practices and develop alternatives to face-to-face consultations.

A Telescreening Tool to Detect Aphasia in Patients with Stroke.

Telemed J E Health

September 2015

1 Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Seoul National University College of Medicine, Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, Seongnam, South Korea .

Background: Early identification of patients with stroke-induced aphasia is essential because it is a significant disability affecting daily life and is linked to poor functional outcome after stroke. However, most patients with stroke are unable to undergo aphasia evaluation and detection and therefore remain undiagnosed. The purpose of this study is to develop a valid, reliable mobile aphasia screening test (MAST) for patients in remote locations.
