Technologies to Support Assessment of Movement During Video Consultations: Exploratory Study

Abstract

Technologies that may enable clinicians to assess movement remotely as part of video consultations depend on the interplay of technology readiness, the patient's clinical conditions, and social support. The most promising off-the-shelf approaches seem to be use of wide-angle webcams, Pivo, help from a friend, or a simple mobile phone holder. Collaborative work between patients and clinicians is needed to develop and trial technological solutions to support video consultations assessing movement.
