据估计，世界人口的10%，约6.5亿人，有某种形式的残疾。人口增长、老龄化和医学进步保护和延长生命，增加了对健康和康复服务的需求。最近的预测表明，为残疾人提供护理的语言病理学家和其他康复专家短缺。远程医疗和远程保健技术的应用为这一挑战提供了有效的解决办法。进行了广泛的文献综述，其中包括技术报告，网站，美国语音语言听力协会的出版物，以及同行评议的远程医疗应用在语音语言病理学的期刊文章。远程医疗在语音语言病理学中的各种应用，包括技术类型，患者和临床医生的满意度，使用远程医疗的优势，应用的挑战和障碍，以及未来的发展方向。这篇综述为远程医疗技术在这一医疗保健领域的更广泛应用奠定了坚实的基础。
It is estimated that 10% of the world's population, approximately 650 million people, have some form of disability. Population growth, aging, and medical advances that preserve and prolong life have increased demands for health and rehabilitation services. Recent predictions indicate a shortage of speech-language pathologists and other rehabilitation specialists to provide care for individuals with disabilities. The application of telemedicine and telehealth technologies offers effective solutions to this challenge. An extensive literature review was conducted that included technical reports, websites, publications from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, and peer-reviewed journal articles of telehealth applications in speech-language pathology. Various applications of telehealth in speech-language pathology are described including types of technology, patient and clinician satisfaction, advantages of using telehealth, challenges and barriers to application, and future directions. This review provides a strong foundation for broader applications of telehealth technologies in this area of healthcare.
