For the study, 354 patients who received teleneurology follow-up care over a two-year period were examined. The patients were from rural areas located in New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona and Texas. The patients suffered from a variety of neurological disorders, with most suffering from Parkinson’s disease and seizure disorders.
The study found 90 percent of the patients reported they were “fully satisfied” with the follow-up care they received. The study also found 89 percent of the patients said receiving neurological telehealth follow-up care was more convenient than traveling to a main medical center to receive the services. The patients saved over 115,000 miles in travel by using teleneurology, according to the study.
