Abstract

Little research has been undertaken to the problem of providing health care to remote populations. The efficiency and effectiveness of colour television, black and white television and hands-free telephone are compared with physical presence consultation. No significant differences in performance were found among the three systems using telecommunications. Physical Presence consultation was found superior only for detecting secondary medical problems.
