Description
The field of telehealth can roughly be divided into two differing clinical processes: synchronous (or real-time) and asynchronous (store and forward, or delayed time).
This webinar will focus on the history and development of asynchronous telepsychiatry using a range of approaches, from letters delivered by horseback to the modern-day uses of video, audio, text and a range of other delayed interactive processes. The primary focus will be on the use of recorded video consultations, and in particular how these can be made simpler and quicker by adding artificial intelligence tools to both collect and analyze video data making work more efficient for providers, and consultations more accessible for patients. Clinical trials of efficacy, satisfaction and outcomes will be reviewed and a future where asynchronous video consultations become common in mental health will be discussed.
