Feasibility of Asynchronous and Automated Telemedicine in Otolaryngology: Prospective Cross-Sectional Study

Feasibility of Asynchronous and Automated Telemedicine in Otolaryngology: Prospective Cross-Sectional Study

In otology, a study with asynchronous video-otoscopy taken by a tele-health facilitator reported a diagnostic capability equivalent to direct otoscopy by physicians [6]. Diagnosing otologic diseases is mostly noninvasive; initial diagnosis usually involves detailed history taking and physical examination by otoscopy. The problem of telemedicine in the field of otology lies in the presentation of physical inspection.

Usability and Practicality of a Novel Mobile Attachment for Aural Endoscopy (endoscope-i): Formative Usability Study

Usability and Practicality of a Novel Mobile Attachment for Aural Endoscopy (endoscope-i): Formative Usability Study

The World Health Organization has noted a discrepancy between burden of disease and current resources for many specialties including otology, encouraging advances in technology and telemedicine to help bridge this gap around the world [3]. Recently, with the continual rise of availability of smartphones, mobile apps and attachments have become a way to achieve this, with some apps showing promise for streamlining referrals to ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialists [4,5].
