Telehealth in Pediatric Follow-Up Care

Telehealth is transforming pediatric follow-up and continuity of care by providing accessible and flexible services for children and families. This session explores the use of digital platforms for developmental monitoring, chronic disease management, mental health support, post-discharge follow-up, and routine pediatric consultations. Participants will examine best practices for teleconsultation, caregiver engagement, data privacy, reimbursement, and the limitations of virtual care. Real-world applications in conditions such as asthma, diabetes, ADHD, and neurodevelopmental disorders will be discussed, along with strategies to address the digital divide and healthcare access disparities. The session highlights how telehealth can strengthen care coordination, reduce travel barriers, and improve the accessibility and continuity of pediatric healthcare.
