Implementation of Modern Technologies in Palliative Care to Address Structural Problems in the Management of Neurological Patients

Rachel Breitbart

Telemedicine offers a way to deal with the health-care system's scarcity of resources and money. Although palliative care has been advised for an increasing number of patients with neurodegenerative illnesses, these patients frequently lack access to either palliative care or neurology. Palliative care is a multidisciplinary approach, thus using palliative care structures as a foundation makes sense. In an outpatient context, there is no systematic access to neurological expertise. A palliative care strategy has the potential to identify and enhance key patient and caregiver outcomes. As a relatively new use of palliative care, research is needed to adapt, develop, and deploy ways to address the specific demands of this group.
