Bridging the Divide: A Systematic Review of Telehealth's Impact on Healthcare Access for Individuals with Down Syndrome

This systematic review looked at how well telehealth works for people with Down syndrome (DS). People with DS face large barrier in getting good care. We searched four databases; out of ۴۰۶ reports, ۳۹ could be used in this review. Nearly all studies came from rich countries (n=۳–۱۲۳,۰۲۴). They mostly used sites of video calls and apps to give speech language therapy (ST), care for infants, and help with exercise. The work brought big wins: fewer ER visits: ۲۳%. More people saw a doctor to get help: from ۶۷% to ۸۹%. How they spoke was clearer among most people in the studies (۷۶%). This review shows that telehealth helps these groups get good health care easier and do better in their ways.
