In-person when necessary and available, remotely when possible – How telemedicine can support palliative care for persons with Parkinson's disease: a qualitative study
Participants generally preferred to discuss palliative care topics physically, but remote consultations can sustain someone's access to care when a physical visit is no longer possible or feasible. Telemedicine was welcomed to transfer palliative care knowledge between healthcare professionals and towards people with PD and family caregivers.
