Neurological disorders are the leading cause of global disability. However, for most people around the world, current neurological care is poor. In low-income countries, most individuals lack access to proper neurological care, and in high-income countries, distance and disability limit access. With the global proliferation of smartphones, teleneurology — the use of technology to provide neurological care and education remotely — has the potential to improve and increase access to care for… Expand

Recommendation for an internationally agreed minimum data set for teleneurology
TLDR
It is argued that by leveraging mobile technologies, teleneurology can provide patients with access to neurologists and extends local clinicians’ capacity, which is particularly relevant in low-to-middle-income countries, as has been demonstrated with telestroke. Expand

Empowering telemedicine – essential for neurologic and ophthalmologic conditions in the context of a pandemic and beyond
TLDR
The importance of telemedicine in two parts is discussed – first, regarding two of the common and disabling nervous system disorders: Parkinson’s disease and stroke; and the second part, regarding the screening for diabetic retinopathy. Expand
Tele–Neuro-Ophthalmology: Vision for 20/20 and Beyond
  • M. Ko, N. Busis
  • Medicine
  • Journal of neuro-ophthalmology : the official journal of the North American Neuro-Ophthalmology Society
  • 2020
TLDR
Tele–Neuro-Ophthalmology adoption is necessary for the sake of patients, the survival of the authors' subspecialty, and the education of their trainees and students, and rapidly accumulating experience and an evidence base is identified identifying opportunities and challenges related to the widespread adoption of tele–neuro-ophthalmology.

Advantages and limitations of teleneurology.
TLDR
Teleneurology provides neurological expertise to rural areas with limited availability of neurologists and improves care for patients with difficulty traveling owing to neurological disease and is likely to continue to grow and become incorporated into many aspects of neurological practice. Expand
Teleneurology applications
TLDR
Teleneurology is an effective tool for the rapid evaluation of patients in remote locations requiring neurologic care and an increase in physician awareness and support at the federal and state level is necessary to facilitate expansion of telemedicine into further areas of neurology. Expand
