The environment is professional and tech-savvy, emphasizing the use of digital platforms for clinical time optimization and remote access.

In the digital age, video consultations and remote access have become essential tools for modern medical practice. Digital platforms not only facilitate communication between physicians and patients but also optimize clinical time, allowing for more efficient and accessible care. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of these technologies, demonstrating their potential to transform healthcare delivery.

Diving Deeper into the Use of Digital Platforms

Telemedicine platforms have proven effective across various medical specialties. For instance, a study on remote digital preoperative assessments for cleft lip and palate in Ecuador showed that digital evaluations are reliable and can enhance clinical and economic impact in global plastic surgery. Additionally, AI-assisted consultations have emerged as a promising alternative to traditional consultations, particularly in reproductive medicine, where patients reported higher satisfaction and shorter consultation times.

In dermatology, the platform DermaCheckup has demonstrated high diagnostic concordance with in-person consultations, enabling more efficient patient management. Furthermore, in the field of pathology, the exchange of digital pathology images has facilitated teleconsultation and remote review, optimizing clinical time and enhancing collaboration among laboratories.

Conclusions

The implementation of digital platforms for video consultations and remote access is revolutionizing healthcare delivery. These tools not only optimize clinical time but also improve patient satisfaction and the efficiency of the healthcare system. As we continue to adopt these technologies, it is crucial to keep researching and evaluating their long-term impact to maximize their benefits in clinical practice.
