Health Informatics Meets eHealth G. Schreier and D. Hayn (Eds.) 2018Abstract: The purpose of this study was to review different telemedicine services
in diagnosis, treatment and management of various children diseases and providing
an overview of systematic reviews conducted in this regard. We searched English
articles published in peer-reviewed journals between 2000 to 2016. We found that
tele-pediatric services have been reported in various areas such as cardiology, burn,
diabetes, obesity, emergency medicine, speech and hearing loss, Ear, Nose and
Throat, psychology and psychiatry, radiology, oncology, home healthcare, asthma,
genetics and dentistry. These studies mainly reported positive results. However,
systematic reviews in tele-pediatric showed that these studies have not proven the
clinical effectiveness or suggested further studies to assess the clinical outcomes of
services provided through telemedicine technologies.
