In recent years, telemedicine has been developing very dynamically. The development of new technologies allows their use in the treatment of dermatological, cardiological, endocrine and other diseases. However, there are few reports on the use of digital technologies in the mental health care of people with intellectual disabilities. Intellectual disability is a disease that affects a large number of people. Patients suffering from intellectual disability encounter barriers that make it difficult for them to fully use telemedicine, however, these barriers can be overcome with appropriate support and adaptation. A review of the literature on telemedicine solutions in the care of people with intellectual disabilities indicates that the applications support the communication of these people with the doctor, enable simple behavioral interventions, stimulate cooperation in treatment, provide simple medical education as well as record medical data for the doctor. The authors present the potential risks related to the use of telemedicine solutions for people with intellectual disabilities as well as the project of creating a new, multi-module telemedicine system.
近年来，远程医疗发展非常迅速。新技术的发展使其可用于治疗皮肤科、心脏病学、内分泌学和其他疾病。然而，在智力障碍人群的精神卫生保健中使用数字技术的报告却很少。智力残疾是一种影响大量人群的疾病。患有智力残疾的患者遇到了障碍，使他们难以充分利用远程医疗，但是，通过适当的支持和适应，这些障碍是可以克服的。对智力残疾人群远程医疗解决方案文献的回顾表明，这些应用程序支持这些人与医生进行沟通，能够进行简单的行为干预，刺激治疗中的合作，为医生提供简单的医学教育以及记录医疗数据。作者介绍了与智力残疾人群使用远程医疗解决方案相关的潜在风险，以及创建新的多模块远程医疗系统的项目。
