ABSTRACT
Telemedicine is a method of health care delivery well suited for epilepsy care, where there is an insufficient supply of trained specialists. The telemedicine "Hub and Spoke" approach allows patients to visit their local health clinic ('Spokes') to establish appropriate care and monitoring for their seizure disorder or epilepsy, and remotely connect with epileptologists or neurologists at centralized centers of expertise ('Hubs'). The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in an expansion of telemedicine capabilities and use, with favorable patient and provider experience and outcomes, allowing for its wide scale adoption beyond COVID-19.
