The pandemic spurred a rapid uptake of telemedicine by sidelining or overcoming the various challenges of
implementing remote patient-care solutions, identified in numerous studies. Although the pandemic was the major factor driving adoption of telemedicine and telehealth, there are still several barriers that health systems need to address. However, health care administrators can rely on this modality of care as evidence largely shows that it is safe, effective, and widely accepted. This technical report gives a broad-strokes update on the development of telemedicine after the COVID pandemic in
Chile, Brazil, Mexico and Colombia—the four countries that made the greatest strides in the field of telemedicine and telehealth in Latin America, identifying which barriers still persist to its full integration into the health system.

Eyes: The Gateway to Brain
Health—Advancing Disease Detection and Patient Accessibility

In the past five years, artificial intelligence has revolutionized healthcare by enabling earlier detection, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases. A recent breakthrough involves using eye-tracking technology to identify ocular biomarkers, aiding in the early detection of conditions like Alzheimer's and neurodegenerative
diseases. This technology not only benefits patients but also advances the study of brain health. By delving into neurology and treatment efficacy, it may provide insights into the causes of neurodegenerative diseases. The future potential of gaze tracking is promising, with non-invasive, cost-effective systems offering hope for earlier diagnosis and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, addressing a significant gap in healthcare.

Telemedicine in Extreme Conditions: Overcoming Challenges in Disaster, War, Hostile, and Remote Environments
In extreme instances, civilian and healthcare fabrics are disrupted, and infrastructure and connectivity are often compromised –precisely when the demand for healthcare
services is at its highest. Digital health solutions and telemedicine can play a critical role in providing support and relief in these situations to bridge the gap between patients and providers, creating innovative approaches that go beyond standard practices. In light of the urgent needs for critical care in remote environments across the globe, Telehealth and Medicine Today is pleased to announce this theme issue for multidisciplinary audiences, including verified digital heath experiences
from patients.
