In resource-limited settings, available care is contingent not only on physical resources such as supplies, equipment, testing capabilities, medications, and clean water, but also on local caregiver knowledge, skills, and abilities. Technology can aid local caregivers by providing remote expertise and other treatment options to the point of care, thereby increasing local caregiver capability and capacity to provide treatment beyond the traditional scope of practice. This session will describe care in resource-limited settings and novel technologies in the domains of telemedicine, digital health, robotics, and automation that are being leveraged to improve patient care.
