News Wise: CHOP Researchers Affirm Effectiveness of Telehealth for Majority of Child Neurology Visits

Researchers from the Epilepsy Neurogenetics Initiative (ENGIN) at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) found that the majority of child neurology visits can be effectively conducted via telemedicine, however younger children and those with neuromuscular disorders tend to require in-person evaluations. These findings support the fact that telemedicine can continue to help patients beyond the COVID-19 pandemic that necessitated it and reaffirmed previous findings that telemedicine is effective for a large majority of child neurology visits.
