Subject:
Telemedicine for non-communicable diseases is a system that allows patients to receive medical care and monitor their health without having to visit clinics or hospitals frequently. This type of care includes the use of technology such as video consultations, health applications, and remote vital signs measuring devices.
Objectives
- Enhance the management of chronic diseases through continuous monitoring and enabling patients to follow up on their health status periodically, which helps improve the management of non-communicable diseases such as diabetes and hypertension.
- Reduce costs and reduce expenses related to transportation and waiting in clinics, which can provide more resources for health systems.
- Increase adherence to treatment and provide medical support and continuous advice to patients, which enhances their commitment to treatment plans and necessary lifestyle changes.
- Reduce the burden on health systems and reduce congestion in clinics and hospitals by providing part of the care via telemedicine.
Expected decisions as a result of this initiative:
- Develop and update policies related to the protection of personal and medical data, and ensure their compliance with legal and ethical standards.
- Improve the technological infrastructure or expand the platforms and applications used in telemedicine based on user feedback and experiences.
- Enhance interaction with the community by organizing awareness and education campaigns for patients on how to use telemedicine and its benefits, and improve their awareness and willingness to use the service.
- Evaluate and develop the service and conduct periodic assessments of the quality of telemedicine services, and analyze the effectiveness of the services provided based on the results of feedback.
