Telehealth: Its Benefits, Quality, and Safety

The theme "Telehealth: Its Benefits, Quality, and Safety" is timely in today’s healthcare environment, where digital innovations are rapidly transforming care delivery. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated telehealth adoption, revealing both its potential and challenges in ensuring effective, accessible, and safe healthcare.

Key areas of focus for this conference include:

• Telehealth’s Benefits: Improving access to care, especially for vulnerable and remote populations.
• Quality in Virtual Care: Maintaining high standards of care through virtual platforms, supported by AI-driven diagnostics and personalized treatment.
• Safety in Telehealth: Ensuring the security of patient data and the reliability of AI-enhanced technologies.
• AI’s Impact: Exploring how AI shapes telehealth with predictive analytics and clinical decision support, while addressing ethical considerations.
• Telehealth for All: Reducing healthcare disparities through broader access and equitable digital solutions.
• Policy and Regulation: Adapting regulatory frameworks to ensure the safe and effective use of telehealth and AI.

This conference will provide a crucial platform for healthcare professionals, researchers, and policymakers to exchange ideas and best practices, contributing to the global effort to deliver safe, high-quality, and accessible healthcare through telehealth and AI innovations.

As usual, we also welcome research submissions on other topics relevant to family medicine.
