Knowledge is Power
2013-12-10 A Sound Foundation 2013 4
“We must start to manage knowledge as if it were money. The application of what we
know will have a bigger impact on our futures than any drug or technology.”
- Sir Muir Gray, Director of BVHC, United Kingdom

What is Telemedicine/Telepractice?
2013-12-10 A Sound Foundation 2013 5
• Telemedicine is the use of medical information exchanged from one site to
another via electronic communications to improve patients' health status.
• Includes applications and services using 2 way video, email, smartphones,
wireless tools, and other forms of telecommunication technology.

• Parent scans QR code on a wet
diaper.
• Smart Diapers can reveal signs of :
1. Urinary tract infection
2. Prolonged dehydration
3. Developing kidney problems
• In clinical trial period, awaiting FDA
approval.

CellScope
2013-12-10 A Sound Foundation 2013 8
• Developed at University of California- Berkley
• Parents take a picture of the tympanic membrane using the special
attachment for the iPhone and an app
• Image is sent to the physician through a HIPPA compliant website
• Ear infections can be diagnosed and treated from home

Vanderbilt University Clinician/Clinic Benefit
32
• Efficiency scheduling
• High cost on efficiency for no shows
• Possibly more likely to replace no shows with Distance Support patients
• Remote fitting appointments were shorter, saving clinic time so more
patients can be seen
• Face to face visits can be used for patients with issues that can not be
solved remotely or prefer face to face.

Vanderbilt University Clinical Outcomes
33
• Convenience may equate to patients seeking services more often
when they need them.
• 40% of clients in Phase I reported they would seek services more often.
• Possibly increase satisfaction

Possible Pediatric Applications
2013-12-10 A Sound Foundation 2013 35
• Datalogging
• Feedback manager
• Adding a phone program
![Page 36: Tele-Toddlers: Potential Applications of Telepractice in Pediatric Fitting](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051513/54805b24b4af9fc9158b5dae/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
All Ears Cambodia
36
• NGO- only ear and hearing clinic in Cambodia
• Greatest need: Education and training of local staff/ volunteers
– Satallite clinics have to close for trainings
• Greatest challenge: infrastructure
– Urban/rural divide

37
• Fifteen children, ranging from 2-9 years old, will be fit with hearing aids by an audiology
team from Nova Southeastern University in winter 2014.
• Follow up visits are planned on an annual basis.
• Nova will test Phonak Distance Support as part of remote follow-up care provided to
families and clinics in between face to face visits.
– Start with small conservative steps such as reading datalogging
– Will provide feedback to Phonak on what tasks are not solvable or appropriate through
the current functionalities of Phonak Distance Support.
