Launching Telemedicine in Primary Care for Underserved Communities in the Philippines
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- The ABC’s for Global Health (ABCGH) Telemedicine Project addresses these issues in underserved Filipino barangays by connecting patients with remotely located doctors through telecommunication. ABCGH utilizes Doctorgram kits containing Bluetooth-compatible medical equipment such as a stethoscope, thermometer, pulse oximetry, EKG, and a mobile application enabling video connection. By training barangay health workers on the usage of the telemedicine toolkit, we can effectively deliver primary care to patients, transcending geographical barriers by directly connecting doctors and patients for synchronous, virtual visits.
