The Utilization of Telemedicine for Remote Diagnosis: A Comprehensive Review of Patient and Physician Perspectives

📄 Research Proposal Draft

1. Introduction

Proposal Title

The Utilization of Telemedicine for Remote Diagnosis: A Comprehensive Review of Patient and Physician Perspectives

2. Background and Rationale

Telemedicine has emerged as a vital tool in addressing healthcare access challenges, especially in low-resource and remote settings. Its application in remote diagnosis has grown significantly, driven by advancements in communication technology and the need for timely medical interventions during crises like the COVID-19 pandemic. However, there remains limited synthesized knowledge about how patients and physicians perceive and utilize telemedicine in diagnostic contexts.

3. Problem Statement

Despite increasing adoption, barriers such as digital literacy, trust in virtual assessments, infrastructure limitations, and clinical uncertainty hinder full telemedicine integration. Understanding both patient and physician perspectives is crucial to ensure safe, acceptable, and efficient remote diagnostic services.

4. Objectives

• To comprehensively review the literature on telemedicine use in remote diagnosis.
• To examine both patient and physician attitudes, experiences, and satisfaction.
• To identify key challenges and enablers influencing telemedicine-based diagnostic care.
• To propose a policy and practice roadmap for optimizing tele-diagnostic services.

5. Methods

A systematic search will be performed across PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science using terms such as “telemedicine,” “remote diagnosis,” “virtual healthcare,” “physician perception,” and “patient experience.” Inclusion will be limited to peer-reviewed articles from the last 10 years. Data extraction will include setting, population, diagnostic method, perceived effectiveness, and reported barriers or facilitators.

6. Expected Outcomes

• Evidence synthesis on telemedicine’s diagnostic impact.
• Comparative analysis of physician vs. patient perspectives.
• Policy recommendations for better integration of telemedicine into diagnostic workflows.
• Identification of key areas for future research and development.

7. Ethical Considerations

As this is a literature-based review, no ethical approval is required. No human subjects or personal data will be involved.

📚 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ): Web of Science–EMR Indexing

❓ What is Web of Science–EMR?

Web of Science–EMR (Eastern Mediterranean Region) is a regional academic indexing platform that includes peer-reviewed, high-quality journals published within and relevant to the Eastern Mediterranean Region. It supports the visibility and recognition of regional research across countries including Sudan, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, and others.

❓ Is Web of Science–EMR the same as Clarivate's Web of Science?

No. Clarivate's Web of Science Core Collection is a global commercial indexing service owned by Clarivate Analytics.

Web of Science–EMR is a regional platform, independently maintained, and designed to amplify academic output from the EMR region. It is not owned or operated by Clarivate.

❓ Is Web of Science–EMR recognized by universities and institutions?

Yes. Many universities, ministries of higher education, medical councils, and promotion committees in EMR countries formally recognize journals indexed in Web of Science–EMR. These journals are often used for:

• Academic promotion
• Postgraduate research
• Faculty evaluations
• Health sciences publication requirements

❓ Why does this distinction matter?

Relying only on global commercial indexing systems (like Clarivate or Scopus) can exclude regional academic voices. Web of Science–EMR ensures fair representation of high-quality local research, allowing EMR scholars to contribute to the global conversation without being limited by Western indexing monopolies.

❓ How can I verify a journal’s inclusion in Web of Science–EMR?

• Visit the platform used by your university (e.g., https://webofscience-index.com/)
• Search the journal title or ISSN
• Confirm the indexing status under the "WoS–EMR" or similar tab

If uncertain, contact your faculty’s research office for support.

🏛 Academy Statement

We recognize the importance of both global and regional academic indexing systems. Web of Science–EMR plays a vital role in highlighting high-impact, peer-reviewed research across the Eastern Mediterranean Region. It is fully accepted in our academic promotion, research assessment, and scholarly publication standards.

Great stories are for everyone even when only written for just one person. If you try to write with a wide, general audience in mind, your story will sound fake and lack emotion. No one will be interested. Write for one person. If it’s genuine for the one, it’s genuine for the rest.
