Therapeutic patient education through digital technology: Recommendations for paediatrics and dermatology

Access to TPE is enhanced by e-tools, which facilitate the participation of parents, expert patient partners, associations, and other professionals. Travel costs and possible scheduling conflicts are easily overcome, further harmonizing care. In this way, remote TPE sessions should enhance the development of the city-hospital network. Importantly, participant age is a key point in terms of screen time (age < 6 years), concentration/remobilization in front of a computer screen (age < 10 years), technical difficulties, and digital illiteracy (across the entire population). Confidentiality, parental information, and invasion of privacy must be considered.
