Detailed infrastructure requirements for telehealth program

This equipment proposal contemplates the implementation of the telemedicine program, with the perspective of connecting primary care centers with reference hospitals. This Infrastructure plan contemplates various levels of services depending on the implementation plan.
 
The document proposes the equipment coverage for the implementation of the telemedicine software and for the equipment of the care centers both at the level of the reference health centers and the primary care point and foresees infrastructure requirements for different scenarios (hospitalization, outpatients, home visits, field work, etc.).
 
These devices were selected to focus on primary care and the management of non-communicable diseases.

Uses

Periodic assessments of children's development, including general clinical control and growth monitoring that requires the use of devices to record signs. These check-ups help detect and prevent potential health problems from childhood. 
Healthy adult health check-ups involve regular assessments to monitor general health, including physical examination and recording of signs such as blood pressure or weight, essential to maintain well-being and prevent future health problems. 
Women's health encompasses a range of medical and preventive check-ups specific to their well-being, such as regular gynecological examinations, breast and cervical cancer screening, contraceptive advice, prenatal care, menopause management, and mental and emotional health support. Many of these check-ups require the recording of signs for which medical devices are needed. 
Pregnancy monitoring is crucial for maternal and fetal health. It includes regular prenatal visits to monitor pregnancy progress, health screening, fetal growth monitoring, childbirth education and preparation for motherhood, as well as nutrition counseling and prenatal care.
Health monitoring for chronically ill patients involves continuous, personalized monitoring to manage their long-term medical condition. It includes regular visits, treatment adjustments as needed, education on disease management, emotional support, and coordination of multidisciplinary medical care to improve quality of life. Recording and monitoring of signs requires the use of devices that are provided within the teleKIT. 
Health monitoring for older adults focuses on maintaining and improving quality of life as they age. It includes periodic medical evaluations to detect and manage chronic diseases, promotion of healthy lifestyle habits, prevention of falls, vaccination, comprehensive mental and social health care, and support for autonomy and independence. Recording signs through devices helps standardize monitoring and facilitate follow-up.


INTEGRATED / INTEROPERABLE USE


The teleKIT is used in an integrated manner, the values are transmitted directly to the clinical record, without the need for transcription. 
 

NON-INTEGRATED USE

The devices are not integrated into the record, so the data obtained through the devices must be transcribed into the record.
