Implementation and User Satisfaction of a Comprehensive Telemedicine Approach for SARS-CoV-2 Self-Sampling: Monocentric, Prospective, Interventional, Open-Label, Controlled, Two-Arm Feasibility Study

Implementation and User Satisfaction of a Telemedicine Approach for SARS-CoV-2 Self-Sampling

Background

Smartphones have opened up new ways to deliver healthcare through telemedicine. The COVID-19 pandemic increased the need for contactless health services, making SARS-CoV-2 testing essential.

Objective

This study aimed to evaluate a telemedicine approach for SARS-CoV-2 testing, focusing on its practicality, user satisfaction, and cost-effectiveness of self-sampling guided by a telemedicine platform.

Methods

The study involved:

Shipping self-sampling kits to participants
Providing instructions for at-home sample collection
Processing samples and communicating test results
Using a mobile app to share data for clinical and research purposes

A total of 100 participants were divided into two groups: one receiving conventional testing and the other using the telemedicine-guided self-sampling approach.

Results

In the telemedicine group (TG):

95% received their self-sampling kit by mail
76% returned at least one sample
95% of tests were conducted successfully
Users reported high satisfaction with ease of use (5.2/7) and interface satisfaction (5.2/7)

The telemedicine approach showed slightly higher costs compared to conventional methods but enabled better data sharing for national health initiatives.

Conclusions

This study indicates that a telemedicine approach for SARS-CoV-2 testing is practical and can integrate with hospital data systems. It offers a scalable solution that may enhance user satisfaction and treatment quality in the future.

Clinical Trials and AI in Healthcare

Clinical trials are essential for developing safe treatments. Our AI platform, DocSym, combines clinical standards and research into one easy-access resource for clinicians.

In today’s healthcare landscape, efficiency is key. Our mobile apps assist with scheduling, treatment monitoring, and telemedicine, streamlining patient care.
