Stitching Infrastructures to Facilitate Telemedicine for Low-Resource Environments
summary
A long-running telemedicine program links a Lucknow super-specialty center to three Orissa medical colleges for follow-ups, using audio/video consults plus trained local coordinators who assemble an hour early to run checklists and fallback plan B/C connectivity paths; researchers observe 62 consultations and document average avoided travel of 24+ hours. Local surgeons receive hands-on training, some gain the ability to perform thyroid surgery, patients keep diaries and learn test vocab, and the system works largely by offline articulation work rather than by any single technology.
