John Canning from PCC has done a lot of work with ThinkMD, a healthcare company who provides fascinating aid in low- and middle-income countries via smartphone. Their experience in this arena is amazing. I’m hoping to get a primer from them about how to perform truly valuable clinical exams over video or phone. In the meantime, check out this study:

Thanks! Look forward to seeing this. We all have our little tricks to get kids to do what we need them to do in the office to get a good exam, but doing it remotely presents challenges. Surely there are some tips/tricks others have come up with to make the exam better. - Appreciate this forum!
