Description

Respiratory illnesses are among the leading causes of morbidity and hospital visits globally, especially in low-resource settings. With the rising adoption of digital health solutions, telemedicine has become a vital tool in expanding access to respiratory care. This webinar will explore the practical role of telemedicine in managing common respiratory conditions, from initial consultations to chronic disease follow-up. The speakers will share insights on how to conduct effective virtual assessments, and when to escalate care. This session will equip you with practical knowledge and strategies to enhance respiratory care delivery through telehealth—particularly in settings where face-to-face consultations are limited.

Objectives

Understand the scope and benefits of telemedicine in the diagnosis, monitoring, and management of respiratory conditions. Identify common respiratory conditions suitable for telemedicine care, such as asthma, COPD, upper respiratory tract infections, and post-COVID follow-up. Discuss best practices for virtual respiratory assessments, including patient history-taking, use of remote monitoring tools, and red flag identification. Explore the challenges and limitations of managing respiratory illnesses remotely. Learn from real-world case examples of telemedicine use in both urban and rural settings. Engage in interactive discussions on how to improve access, continuity, and quality of respiratory care via telehealth.
