The Use of Telemedicine and Drones in Rural Clinics on Remote Japanese Islands

The nationwide status of the use of telemedicine and drones was observed in RPCs on remote Japanese islands, which showed that RPCs on smaller remote islands used telemedicine and tended to want to use drones for specimen transfer compared with those on larger remote islands. This could be useful to develop healthcare and daily practice with telemedicine and drones, while considering the island's population size, on remote Japanese islands.
