What Is Teleneurology and How Is It Different from Telemedicine?

Telemedicine is a broader term dealing with virtual care delivery. Patients and physicians connect through a telemedicine portal that enables care delivery, without physical interaction. Telemedicine covers all specialties, and when we discuss neurology, it is called teleneurology.
Teleneurology reduces wait times and improves patient care. One application of teleneurology is TeleLocum services. Our teleneurologists are available to provide their expertise to any facility that needs it, whether it be due to specialist shortage, high demand for services, or a combination of both.

Our specialists provide their services remotely, as long as the facility requires them. TeleLocums help fill the position of permanent neurologists and make better care delivery easy for the facility. In TeleLocum services, our teleneurologists utilize the telemedicine technology of the facility. However, in a Telestroke program, we provide facilities with telemedicine technology including hardware and software, in addition to our neurologists’ services.

You deserve the best neurological care, and our teleneurologists can help deliver that care through in-house telemedicine solutions.

Neurologists Shortage – A Looming Threat

With an aging population, the number of patients that require neurological care has increased significantly. There are more people suffering from neurological issues like Dementia, Parkinson’s Disease, and Stroke, among others, than ever. Demand for neurologists is on the rise, and the gap between available neurologists and the demand will only increase. In fact, neurology might be the most affected specialty. And a revolution in neurology is required to ensure people with neurological issues get the care they deserve.

Teleneurology – The Solution

Telemedicine has been around for quite some time. But it got its due recognition during the Covid-19 pandemic. Health providers and the general audience, both accept it as a viable care delivery option.

NeuroX has combined telemedicine with neurology to provide neurological care to anyone who needs it. Our teleneurology services can be divided into three sections.
