Telemedicine Improves Chronic Disease Access in Indonesia

Researchers from Hamburg University of Technology and collaborators conducted 15 semistructured interviews between October and December 2024 to examine telemedicine adoption in Indonesia. They found the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated virtual consultations, sustaining use for chronic and rare disease follow-ups and delivering cost and travel savings for remote patients. The study identified persistent barriers—limited infrastructure, constrained physical examinations, and physician burnout—calling for regulatory frameworks and digital investment.
