Background: Dr. Julius Johnson, an internal medicine specialist, runs a small clinic in a rural community. Because of their remote location and limited access to healthcare facilities, many patients struggle to schedule regular appointments and receive timely medical care. Recognizing the need to improve patient accessibility and convenience, Dr. Johnson decides to launch a telemedicine program at her clinic. Story: Mrs. Emily Carter, a 65-year-old retiree, is one of Dr. Johnson's patients. She has diabetes and hypertension. She lives alone in a remote farmhouse, far from the nearest medical facility. Mrs. Carter finds it difficult to travel for her routine check-ups because of limited transportation options and her deteriorating health. Dr. Johnson suggests including telemedicine consultations in her practice. Mrs. Carter is excited about the prospect of receiving medical advice from the comfort of her own home and agrees to participate in the telemedicine program. Case Study Questions: how Can the telemedicine platform meet the accessibility needs of patients with visual or hearing impairments?

This systematic review offers a comprehensive view ofthe telemedicine landscape in the context of NMDs.While domains like teleconsultation and telemonitoringhave received extensive attention and reporting in theliterature, other critical domains, such as decision sup-port tools and informational support, are notably lackingin research and documentation. To further understand,develop and implement telemedicine solutions and toclose existing gaps in NMD-specific healthcare provision,policies and guidelines are needed. By actively integratingtelemedicine into existing healthcare plans and maintain-ing a commitment to ongoing updates and improve-ments, healthcare systems can optimise care delivery,enhance patient outcomes, and ensure that individualswith NMDs receive the high-quality care they deserve. Inaddition, more high-quality studies are needed to closeresearch gaps concerning the implementation processof telemedicine and prove the respective efficiency andeffectiveness in the long run
