Article Abstract
In the United States, regulatory changes dictate telehealth activities. Telehealth was available to patients on home dialysis as early as 2019, allowing patients to opt for telehealth with home as the originating site and without geographic restriction. In 2020, coronavirus disease 2019 was an unexpected accelerant for telehealth use in the United States. Within nephrology, remote patient monitoring has most often been applied to the care of patients on home dialysis modalities. The effect that remote and virtual technologies have on home dialysis patients, telehealth and health care disparities, and health care providers' workflow changes are discussed here. Moreover, the future use of remote and virtual technologies to include artificial intelligence and artificial neural network model to optimize and personalize treatments will be highlighted. Despite these advances in technology challenges continue to exist, leaving room for future innovation to improve patient health outcome and equity. Prospective studies are needed to further understand the effect of using virtual technologies and remote monitoring on home dialysis outcomes, cost, and patient engagement.

Assessing validity and costs of virtual diagnostics for sleep disorders: A feasibility study.
J Telemed Telecare

Centre for Innovative Medical Technology, Odense University Hospital, Odense, Denmark.
IntroductionThe use of digital solutions including patient-reported outcomes is limited to follow-up of patients with established diagnoses but is rarely used as first step of the diagnostic process substituting a personal contact with a health professional. We report on the diagnostic validity and cost per patient implications based on a feasibility study of a new virtual diagnostic service (VDS) for common neurological sleep disorders that, as a first step, involves the collection and automated analysis of self-reported digital patient data.MethodsThe VDS was established at the Odense University Hospital, Denmark.

School of Psychology & Public Health, La Trobe University, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
Background: As healthcare systems increasingly embrace digital transformation, the need for a specialised digital health workforce, distinct from general clinical or IT roles, has become paramount. This study offers a national review of digital health education (DHE) offerings in Australian universities, with a focus on how current curricula support the development of advanced, workforce-ready skills in areas such as health informatics, data analytics, digital implementation, and leadership.
Methods: A systematic web-based review was conducted across all 42 Australian universities, drawing on publicly available resources including official handbooks, course catalogues, and subject guides.

Background: There is growing demand for home-based palliative care because of patient preference, and increased number of deaths. Optimal models for community-based palliative and end-of-life care are unknown.
Aim: To identify, synthesise and describe review-level evidence to better understand models of palliative and end-of-life care for adults living at home, and examine components of these models and their association with outcomes.

Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators (RTGs) are devices that convert heat from radioactive decay into electrical energy and are used in remote locations due to their low maintenance requirements. Various types of RTGs were produced with sources containing large amounts of Strontium-90, which require multiple layers of shielding materials. However, the lack of control and the ease of access to the source increase the biological risk in the event of a breach of the device.

Background: There is no established best practice for optimal medical consultant care to address the medical needs of psychiatric inpatients at a behavioral health center (BHC).
Aim: To evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a hybrid on-site and virtual model of internal medicine consultative care in a BHC.
Setting And Participants: To provide continuous medical consultation availability for 233 patients in a BHC, 9 internal medicine hospitalists from the affiliated academic medical center joined 1 full-time internist and 21 medical nurse practitioners, supporting 34 psychiatry providers.
