Virtual telehealth visits for prenatal checkups during the COVID- 19 pandemic in Japan: a nationwide survey and feasibility study
Despite maternal interest, VV has been limitedly implemented in Japan. Our study found that self-measured values, except for fetal heart rate, were highly correlated with those measured by healthcare providers. These findings are important for healthcare providers and government agencies when considering future prenatal checkups.
