Telemedicine appointments reduce risk of further illness

A study reveals that Telemedicine appointments combined with in-person visits significantly reduced the risk of further illness for children with medically complex cases. According to researchers of ‘The University of Texas Health Science Center’ at Houston (UT Health) was published in Pediatrics. Children with medically complex cases require intense care supervision for conditions like genetic diseases, feeding difficulties, and developmental delays. These children often rely on technology such as feeding tubes or tracheostomies - a tube inserted in the throat to help provide air in the lungs.
