I recently came across a study highlighting the potential of telehealth solutions for chronic pain management in older adults. With many seniors facing mobility issues, tools that allow for remote consultations and ongoing monitoring could make a big difference. I’m curious if anyone has implemented similar strategies in their practice and what challenges or successes you’ve experienced.
, the struggle with chronic pain in seniors is real — i’ve started using a telehealth app that offers video check-ins and it’s made follow-ups easier. But coordinating schedules can be a headache, especially with patients who aren’t tech-savvy.
I totally get where you’re coming from. I’ve also found that using a specific app for pain tracking has really helped my older patients share their daily experiences with pain management, which simplifies our virtual follow-ups. But I’ve got to say, coordinating times can be a real headache sometimes! @g_thomas88, do you think patients are hesitant to engage with new tech?
I’ve been using a telehealth platform for video check-ins too, and it’s been a game changer for keeping up with older patients. One thing I noticed is that scheduling can be tough, especially when we’re trying to sync with caregivers’ availability. @fharper21, have you found any tricks to make that easier?
