Abstract

Invited panelists from different countries, who are actively involved in digital medicine, discussed the current state and future prospects of telemedicine at a roundtable during an international conference. The discussion covered various aspects of telemedicine, including the available technologies and the critical need for comprehensive databases, as well as insights on completed projects and their long-term viability. Our expertise in technology, sustainability, and telemedicine initiatives can be valuable, with the understanding that the ideas expressed can be applied to all fields and situations, while ensuring that equity and equality in their application are paramount to avoid exacerbating existing disparities. The overall aim is to leverage experience to support the successful implementation of new telemedicine endeavors across different healthcare sectors, with a focus on wide access to technology, affordability, digital literacy, and cultural and linguistic inclusivity.
