Facing similar challenges in Brazil, we've seen telemedicine bridge gaps where traditional systems falter. It's more than just a band-aid solution; with basic tech and commitment, it can revolutionize access to healthcare, even in challenging conditions.

Absolutely, the differences in resources and infrastructure between Brazil and Nigeria are significant. But it's worth noting that some telemedicine initiatives offer immediate ROI by reducing unnecessary travel for patients, providing fast, impactful results even in

Indeed, placing basics first is crucial, and the resource challenges are universal. Brazil's journey offers lessons, as does Nigeria's. It's great to exchange views and learn from each other's experiences in this ongoing challenge of healthcare prioritization.
@unusual_whales
SmileDirectClub's closure highlights a key lesson: telehealth, like traditional healthcare, must prioritize quality. Despite its convenience, medical standards can't be compromised. A cautionary tale for the industry.
@asemota
Telemedicine indeed offers a unique approach distinct from traditional digitalized medicine. It's about connecting patients and healthcare providers over distance, often proving invaluable in overcoming logistic barriers.
Your examples perfectly illustrate this. While

I’m sorry to say that, but it’s definitely wrong. As a cardiologist, data scientist and AI enthusiast, I just cannot explain how in 2024 we cannot trust even a little bit in automatized ECG interpretations. It’s a bunch of unidimensional data and we’re still far away from it.

After a decade in the ER, I've found that often within less than 30 seconds, I could sense what a patient needs, sometimes without a word spoken. This intuition, honed through experience, is a subtle yet crucial aspect of medical practice that goes beyond text-based AI's reach.
