“Great tools exist right now,” Mark Carroll, the Telehelath Program Director at the HHS Indian Health Service declared during a panel session at ATA. “They don’t require new development. Take even desktop video, for example, we need to do more to use that in telemedicine now… We have only begun to scratch the service of scaling the tools we have now — even though I’ll admit we have scratched the surface vigorously.” Bettyjoyce Lide from the Department of Commerce (left) and Brenda Korte (right) from NIH listen in.

I must be missing something. “Who will be the early adopters…”? We already have early adopters of telemedicine. They aren’t necessarily the geeks though they are perhaps driven by those technically minded folks who see the need to implement it. The group I work with are the aged and the chronically ill. They are often rural and poor and lack other access to medicine.

I did not read the whole set of slides, but the opener just struck me as being ridiculous. I am sorry to read it was from someone at the NIH.

Julie,

I agree. I thought both the question and response were odd given the event was focused on Telemedicine and had been around for some 14 years…
