Challenges in evaluating neurological patients in the era of Telemedicine

Telemedicine offers multiple advantages to both
practitioners and patients with chronic diseases, including
Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer's disease, and multiple
sclerosis. There is an insufficient number of neurologists
providing routine follow-up care for such individuals, and
such complex cases require specialist attention. With the
COVID-19 pandemic, telemedicine in neurology has been
more widely implemented. Convenience and safety may
outweigh the limitations for most, including impaired
diagnostic accuracy for specific symptoms, limited use of
telemedicine in the first week of illness for newly diagnosed
patients, and impracticality for patients in nursing
homes .
