ABSTRACT
Telehealth service is the use of electronic information and communication technology by healthcare personnel for the purposes of diagnosis, treatment, patient monitoring, education/information and care. For this purpose, many wired and wireless technological methods such as web-based applications, smart mobile phones, disease-specific applications, video call methods, devices that record and transmit information are used. In respiratory diseases, telehealth services can be used for various reasons such as providing easy access to the patient and continuity of follow-up, meeting patient needs quickly, reducing patient waiting times and providing economic savings. The use of telehealth methods is increasing in chronic respiratory diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma, which require regular follow-up and care. Telehealth applications in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease aim to reduce emergency room visits, hospitalizations, and exacerbations. In asthma, telehealth applications generally aim to achieve good symptom control and adherence to treatment. Turkish Thoracic Society COPD Working Group and Asthma and Allergy Study Group support the inclusion of telehealth along with face-to-face methods in health care.
