Store-and-forward teleneurology results in a large Brazilian city

Abstract

Background Neurology is a high-demand specialty with long waiting lines. Some pathologies require rapid decision-making. Through technology, telemedicine can allow neurological patients to have faster access to specialized assessment. In store-and-forward telemedicine, the specialist physician evaluates data collected by a general practitioner and optimizes screening.
