Exploring the acceptability of remote care for people with psychotic disorders in the community: practical challenges and desired features
Service users and clinicians did not view remote delivery of care as a completely adequate substitute for in-person care but were receptive to its integration into hybrid models when both patient choice and clinician judgment were respected. The study highlights the need for software design to address resource limitations and individual differences, while considering the influence of training, device availability, and urbanization on remote care implementation.
