{"title":"Telemedicine in cancer care during COVID-19 pandemic: a systematic mapping study.","authors":"Ali Garavand, Taleb Khodaveisi, Nasim Aslani, Mohammad Hosseiniravandi, Roshanak Shams, Ali Behmanesh","doi":"10.1007/s12553-023-00762-2","DOIUrl":"10.1007/s12553-023-00762-2","url":null,"abstract":"<p><strong>Background: </strong>For monitoring, providing, and managing COVID-19 pandemic healthcare services, telemedicine holds incredible potential. During this period, there has been a change in the remote services offered to cancer patients. As a result, the purpose of this study was to conduct a mapping review to identify and classify telemedicine applications for providing cancer care to patients during the COVID-19 pandemic.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Articles published in scientific databases such as Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, and ProQuest up to 2022 were searched for in this systematic mapping study. Identifying keywords, creating a search strategy, and selecting data sources were all part of our search for relevant articles. The articles were chosen in phases based on inclusion and exclusion criteria.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>A total of 1331 articles were found, with the majority of them (46% of them) taking place in the United States. Telemedicine systems were most commonly developed for breast cancer (11.4%), lung cancer (7.9%), head and neck cancer (6.4%), brain cancer (5.4%), gynecologic cancer (6.0%), urological cancer (5.7%), prostate cancer (5.0%), colorectal cancer (5.0%), biliary tract cancer (5.0%), and skin cancer (5.0%). Teleconsultation was the most common type of telemedicine application, with 60% of it taking place in real time.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Because of its emphasis on providing high-quality health care while reducing costs, telemedicine has gained popularity in the majority of countries, with positive economic and social consequences. While telemedicine systems provide a variety of healthcare services, during the COVID-19 era, they do not currently provide many services to all cancer patients worldwide.</p><p><strong>Supplementary information: </strong>The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s12553-023-00762-2.</p>","PeriodicalId":12941,"journal":{"name":"Health and Technology","volume":" ","pages":"1-14"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2023-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10256577/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9720875","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This difference can be caused by differences in the herding instincts of the community with COVID-19 variants. The herd instinct is an inherent tendency to associate with others and follow the group's behavior or a behavior wherein people tend to react to the actions of others without considering the reason.

The researchers are trying to inculcate artificial intelligence (Machine learning or deep learning models) for the efficient detection of COVID-19. This research explores all the existing machine learning (ML) or deep learning (DL) models, used for COVID-19 detection which may help the researcher to explore in different directions. The main purpose of this review article is to present a compact overview of the application of artificial intelligence to the research experts, helping them to explore the future scopes of improvement.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>The researchers have used various machine learning, deep learning, and a combination of machine and deep learning models for extracting significant features and classifying various health conditions in COVID-19 patients.

Overfitting is one such limitation that can lead to incorrect predictions and overburdening of the models.
