Telemedicine for Elderly: A Pilot Study on Usability and Acceptability in Remote Cognitive Assessment

Preliminary findings from this pilot study emphasize the potential of video-supported remote diagnostics to expand access to dementia assessments in rural and underserved areas. High satisfaction ratings from participants demonstrate the feasibility of providing timely and comprehensive care while alleviating the need for long-distance travel. However, challenges reported by clinicians, highlight the need for further refinements to improve usability and enhance clinician-patient interactions. Future efforts should prioritize optimizing platform interactivity and streamlining the technical setup process to boost clinician satisfaction and minimize workflow disruptions. With these improvements, the system has the potential to address healthcare disparities in rural regions effectively.
