Abstract

Several novel technologies have long been used in pediatric psychology. From using electronic pill-count bottles to track child adherence to pill-taking regimens to using bed alarms for night time enuresis, psychologists have relied on technology in their work with children who are ill. Much of the recent technology literature in pediatric psychology has focused on the use of the Internet and other Web-based technologies. This article thoroughly reviews the literature regarding telehealth in the field of pediatric psychology, more specifically the application of televideo or teleconferencing in various populations of children and adolescents with chronic illnesses, followed by the authors' clinical and research applications of telehealth in pediatric psychology. The review concludes with a summary of study findings and future directions in the field for clinicians and researchers alike.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Telehealth is an effective means to conduct therapy.

    “As such, flexibility in care delivery is paramount and may include delivering the intervention via telehealth, shown to be an effective mean to conduct therapy [42].”

    From Psychological and Psychiatric Comorbidities in Youth with Serious Physical Illness (2022) · cites this paper as [42]

    The Individual Therapy section says clinicians have found little difficulty applying several treatments effectively via telemedicine, but describes this as anecdotal. The Summary says only some studies suggest clinical outcomes may be similar to in-person care and calls for more outcome research. Thus, the paper supports telemedicine as a way to deliver therapy, but not the unqualified assertion that it has been shown effective. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
