Telehealth in Neurodegenerative Diseases: Comparison
Please note this is a comparison between Version 2 by Vivi Li and Version 1 by Fabiola De Marchi.

Telehealth is the distribution of health-related services using electronic technologies, improving the continuity of care in patients with chronic neurodegenerative disorders. 

  • neurodegeneration
  • neurology
  • telehealth
  • telemedicine
  • Alzheimer’s disease
  • Parkinson’s Disease
  • Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
