Abstract

Purpose of review: Established telehealth practices in pediatrics and pediatric cardiology are evolving rapidly. This review examines several concepts in contemporary telemedicine in our field: recent changes in direct-to-consumer (DTC) pediatric telehealth (TH) and practice based on lessons learned from the pandemic, scientific data from newer technological innovations in pediatric cardiology, and how TH is shaping global pediatric cardiology practice.

Recent findings: In 2020, the global pandemic of COVID-19 led to significant changes in healthcare delivery. The lockdown and social distancing guidelines accelerated smart adaptations and pivots to ensure continued pediatric care albeit in a virtual manner. Remote cardiac monitoring technology is continuing to advance at a rapid pace secondary to advances in the areas of Internet access, portable hand-held devices, and artificial intelligence.

Summary: TH should be approached programmatically by pediatric cardiac healthcare providers with careful selection of patients, technology platforms, infrastructure setup, documentation, and compliance. Payment parity with in-person visits should be advocated and legislated. Newer remote cardiac monitoring technology should be expanded for objective assessment and optimal outcomes. TH continues to be working beyond geographical boundaries in pediatric cardiology and should continue to expand and develop.

技术创新和COVID-19大流行对儿科心脏病远程医疗的影响

审查目的:儿科和儿科心脏病学中已建立的远程医疗实践正在迅速发展。本综述考察了本领域当代远程医疗的几个概念:基于从大流行中吸取的教训，直接面向消费者(DTC)儿科远程医疗(TH)和实践的最新变化，儿科心脏病学新技术创新的科学数据，以及TH如何塑造全球儿科心脏病学实践。最新发现:2020年，全球COVID-19大流行导致医疗保健服务发生重大变化。封锁和保持社交距离的指导方针加速了智能适应和调整，以确保以虚拟方式继续进行儿科护理。随着互联网接入、便携式手持设备和人工智能领域的进步，远程心脏监测技术正在继续快速发展。总结:儿科心脏保健提供者应该通过精心选择患者、技术平台、基础设施设置、文档和依从性，有计划地进行TH。应提倡和立法平等的支付与亲自访问。更新的远程心脏监测技术应扩大客观评估和最佳结果。TH继续在儿科心脏病学中超越地理界限，并应继续扩大和发展。

期刊介绍： Current Treatment Options in Pediatrics aims to review the most important, recently published research on treatment in the field of pediatrics. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to serve all those involved in the care of children of all ages.We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas covering all the major medical and surgical disciplines in pediatrics. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive treatment-focused review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also occasionally provided.
