In brief
Survey study examining parental attitudes toward telemedicine and surgical telementoring for pediatric procedures. Findings show approximately 50% parental support for remote surgical guidance, with authors suggesting that increased education may improve acceptance of this emerging technology in pediatric care.
Written by the GCMD Library team from the article.
Overall, surgical telementoring was only supported by about half of the respondents. We predict that with increased education about surgical telementoring, this technology will have increased public support in the pediatric population.
