Remote medicine and its possibilities in Geriatrics…

I am a big technology buff, I will be the first to admit that bias. Regardless, I think that remotely delivered medicine (and I include telehealth aspects in this such as remote link visits with specialists), is a very important future direction of all medicine directed at communities that are far removed from large urban centres. The way this relates to older people, especially, is the fact that many of our communities include mostly older adults, as they are the least likely to just leave their homes and move to the city (I do recognize this as a very generalized statement). This link gives you only a small taste of what is possible, but it is SO wonderful!! The problem I see is that we already have the technology and expertise to make these remote medicine opportunities a reality as part of primary care, yet we don’t, and that is something that we need to change. So if anyone is interested in pursuing an area of medicine that will have to grow, out of necessity of providing excellent care to our patients who choose to live in non-urban locales, the world is your oyster.
