A limited number of healthcare workers and cost constraints limit primary care access in the Philippines. To test telehealth as a low-cost and effective solution, a large-scale digital health clinic was implemented in the selected urban and rural communities. In collaboration with local authorities, our pilot telemedicine clinic was implemented for 3 days in January 2023. Patients were registered and their vitals were assessed before they were seen by a remote United States-based licensed physician who provided recommendations for treatment. Medical devices with real-time streaming capabilities, such as electronic stethoscopes, were utilized to enhance remote examinations.
