Opportunities and challenges for telehealth within, and beyond, a pandemic
Open accessAbstract
The COVID-19 pandemic is unlike any previous pandemic. The ubiquity of international travel, the ease of transmission of the virus, and symptom variability have resulted in an unprecedented rate of spread. The need for physical distancing has also led to the rapid adoption of telehealth solutions globally.

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.
