In the article "Which advantage takes the video doctor?" the Lübecker Nachrichten (LN) reports about the research project at the Institute for General Medicine of the University of Lübeck.
It deals with the question of how video-speaking lessons and other possibilities of telemedicine can help the patient.
The telesurgery lesson is used as an extra help when a specialist is consulted to improve access to care. This has proven particularly useful in rural areas when patients can not easily come to a specialized practice.
With the telemedicine backpack immobile patients who can not come to the surgeries can be visited by specially trained medical assistants.
The backpack offers the possibility of transmitting vital data of the patient directly to the family doctor's office.
