ABSTRACT
At present, telemedicine and remote visits represent one alternative to in-person visits to meet patients’ ambulatory care needs during the COVID-19 pandemic and its enforced social distancing requirements. Telemedicine is becoming popular in several clinical disciplines, including pain medicine and oncology. Two out of three chronic pain patients are women. Moreover, most women can be considered vulnerable patients, as they often need to take care of their families and jobs while under chronic pain or oncological treatment. By employing a case study, this chapter aims to delve deep into how this new paradigm can benefit patients’ quality of life. This chapter broadens the gender perspective on e-health, seeing this as an opportunity for patients, clinicians, and entrepreneurs in the field. © 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
