This review summarizes existing literature on disparities in teleneurology, including racial or ethnic disparities, language inequities, and the global context. Understanding social and structural barriers in accessing quality teleneurology is critical to addressing and preventing health disparities, ensuring effective and equitable neurological care for all patients.
The disparate access to, and use of, telemedicine reflects those of in-person health. These disparities are perpetuated as a result of individual, social, and structural factors like low digital literacy, unequal availability of broadband services, and systemic racism. This review focuses on extant literature on disparities in teleneurology, including racial or ethnic disparities, language inequities, and the global context. Understanding social and structural barriers to equitable access to quality teleneurology is critical to addressing and preventing health disparities, ensuring effective and equitable neurological care for all patients.
