Current Issue Highlights
The Use
of Telehealth Technology in the Medical Management of Adults with Intellectual Disability: A Scoping Review
DOI: https://doi.org/10.30953/thmt.v9.524
Individuals with intellectual
disability (ID) experience substantial inequalities and barriers accessing health care despite requiring constant accessibility to healthcare providers as they are more likely to die from avoidable causes of death than those without ID. Telehealth technologies have the capacity to improve access to health providers and health information and could greatly reduce morbidity and mortality rates in people with ID. This study aims to explore the use of mobile health technology in the medical
management of adults with intellectual disability.
Most of the studies used videoconferencing platforms for real-time telehealth, while others focused on symptom or medication monitoring applications. The evidence supports the feasibility, potential effectiveness and satisfaction of using telehealth to manage intellectual disability among adults despite accessibility issues including poor internet connectivity and poor knowledge of
technology which may limit its use.
