A team of researchers at WVU started working on a pilot project to help patients who have recently left a healthcare facility, after a long-term stay, communicate with doctors through technology, now that might be a weapon in combating COVID-19.
This strategy of using technology is known as telehealth and fits into the recommended strategy of social distancing. As part of the initial telehealth project, Steve Davis, an associate professor in the School of Public Health, and his team enrolled the first four of about 30 rural west Virginians into the project a week ago according to a WVU press release.
