This paper examines the integration of telehealth technologies with High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) treatments for uterine conditions following the COVID-19 pandemic. It outlines how remote communication tools can facilitate HIFU training for clinicians and support patient management for fibroids and adenomyosis by enhancing safety, effectiveness, and satisfaction. The authors propose that this hybrid model allows medical services to be delivered closer to home while maintaining clinical standards during public health crises. Relevance to endometriosis and adenomyosis: This paper is centrally about adenomyosis, specifically discussing its management via HIFU ablation supported by telehealth infrastructure.

Abstract

We come to realize the importance of “telehealth” during the current COVID-19 pandemic. Telehealth can be defined as providing health care, including preventive, diagnostic, and treatment services, by using information and communication technologies such as videoconferencing, electronic messaging, and telephone calls (1). With the rapid development of new treatment technology, communication, and fast speed networks, not only telehealth can provide medical services closer to home, but it also should provide the doctors and patients with additional benefits of safety, effectiveness, and satisfaction. HIFU is a new non-invasive ablation treatment for many solid tumors. This paper illustrates how the potential practice of HIFU ablation for fibroids can be modified to make it suitable for doctors in their HIFU training for treatment of fibroids and adenomyosis and for patients who need surgery using this new telehealth development.
