ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Telehealth has been widely adopted in providing Parkinson's disease care during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic.OBJECTIVE:
The aim of this study was to survey people living with Parkinson's disease (PwPD) about their attitudes toward and utilization of telehealth services.METHODS:
A survey was administered to PwPD via Parkinson's Foundation and Columbia University mailing lists.RESULTS:
Of 1,163 responses, 944 complete responses were analyzed. Telehealth awareness was 90.2% (850/942), and utilization was 82.8% (780/942). More than 40% of PwPD were equally or more satisfied with telehealth compared with in-person visits in all types of services used. The highest satisfaction was observed in speech-language pathology appointments (78.8%, 52/66) followed by mental health services (69.2%, 95/137).CONCLUSIONS:
In selected circumstances and indications, such as speech-language pathology and mental health services, telehealth may be a useful tool in the care of PwPD beyond the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. © 2022 The Authors.
