“3D telemedicine outperforms 2D telemedicine: A randomized crossover trial in reconstructive plastic surgery”
3D Telemedicine improves the realism, interaction quality and experience of remote consultations relative to 2D Telemedicine, with significantly higher 'presence' and Telehealth Usability Questionnaire scores. Critically, as 3D Telemedicine more closely mimics reality, this may help overcome barriers to adoption related to patients' preference for in-person consultations.
