About 1/10 people suffer from chronic neurological conditions. Most do not have access to proper neurological assessment on a frequent basis, if at all. For example, an alarming average of 60% of Parkinson’s Disease patients live with this disease during their lifetimes without ever seeing a movement disorder specialist.

That is where tele-neurology becomes a crucial service:

Reduced costs: Tele-neurology reduces physician examination time as most of the tests are done prior to the medical examination. If the patient is stable, the clinical visit may be redundant altogether. This also reduces patient backlog, which is an important factor to the healthcare providers.

Improved medical outcomes: Continuous monitoring by the patient case-manager using quantitative real-life data allows a prompt response to any change in the patient condition, creating on call personalized treatment.

Increased access to specialty care: Tele-neurology allows patients in remote or underserved areas to receive care from neurologists who may not be physically present in their community.
