 Telepresence & Psychiatry: When the Very Best is Finally Good Enough
This presentation described consumers' and professionals' satisfaction
with a telepsychiatry demonstration project currently being conducted in
rural Washington State. Both patients and physicians
indicated no significant differences between a face-to-face encounter and
treatment using telepresence. Telepresence is a type of video
conferencing monitor that closely simulates/represents eye contact and
enables the participants to speak naturally to the screen image. Many
other video conferencing monitors and cameras require users to speak to
the camera rather than the image on the screen.
