The People Least Likely To Embrace Telemedicine

Description

The novel coronavirus pandemic has triggered a boom in telemedicine, by which patients receive medical care via telephone or computer. However, UPI reports a new study reveals the new paradigm isn't being adopted by everyone equally. UPI reports three groups of people have been far less likely to complete telemedicine appointments during the pandemic than others. Specifically, they're older adults, Asian Americans, and non-English speakers. Study co-author Dr. Srinath Adusumalli says many of these patients lack access to the necessary technology. Or, they are simply uncomfortable using it to complete medical appointments.
