TELEHEALTH
Special Interest Group (SIG)

The tele-health special interest group was formed to investigate the role of tele-health in providing optimal care to children with epilepsy. We aim to elucidate the safety and efficacy of tele-health visits, identify barriers to delivering care through tele-health and pilot novel methods of care delivery through tele-health with emphasis on equity and easy access to care.

Telehealth SIG Leader: Gogi Kumar, M.D., Dayton Children’s Hospital
