Table 3. Translatability to telehealth score and corresponding virtual care solution type
| Translatability to telehealth score | Description | Virtual care solution | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
 = Type 5 | Easily translatable over telehealth with no additional physical artefacts required | Type 5 | Clinicians and/or patients can easily exchange information over the telephone and/or video (for example, discussing diet or medication) |
 = Type 4 | Relatively easy to translate over telehealth, with minimal but easily accessible equipment required | Type 4 | Patients conduct self-assessment at home and communicate self-reported findings; for example, measuring weight, print electronic requests or results |
 = Type 3 | Moderately translatable over telehealth but may require patient to acquire their own equipment to do so | Type 3 | Patients acquire necessary artefacts through purchase or pick-up, and perform and communicate findings. Virtual guidance or training may be required; for example, measuring oxygen saturation or blood pressure |
 = Type 2 | Has the potential to be translated over telehealth but may require clinician to administer virtual examination, and may require patient to obtain special equipment and training | Type 2 | Clinician administers virtual examination. May require patient to obtain special equipment and training; for example, virtual foot examination |
 = Type 1 | Not amenable to being replicated over telehealth at this stage | N/A | N/A |
