“I would call them, it seems faster”. The state of Telemedicine in Scotland.
Sfakakis, Georgios; Sobolewska, Emilia
Abstract
The novel Coronavirus pandemic has affected the way people interact with others and services. Online re-mote solutions have been proposed for most interactions including health care. This position paper shows thatonline health services areunder-utilised during Covid-19, and people are often not awareof their ex-istence. Usingprimary health care (General Practitioners -GPs) and the Near Me and Telecare programs in Scotlandas examples, we argue that improving the usability of the GP websites can make Telemedicine more accessible and increase its adoption.
