In Honduras and in the rest of the world, we are going through a public health challenge due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, the need to implement telehealth has arisen, considering the deontological and ethical principles that govern the medical profession. It is important to break paradigms in the incorporation of information and communication technologies in health systems. We must expand our vision for the benefit of people's health, taking into account that it is and will always be, appropriate and unavoidable to question the innovations, to analyze and reflect on the ethical and legal aspects of their implementation and guarantee that what is implemented represents a direct benefit for the users. From this approach, it was reflected on the need to implement an ethical telemedicine, humanistic, whose main purpose is to preserve life, confidentiality, patient safety, as well as the quality and continuity of medical care.

The HIV epidemic in Indonesia is one of the fastest growing in Southeast Asia and is characterised by a number of geographic and sociocultural challenges. Can large language models (LLMs) be integrated with telehealth (TH) to address cost and quality of care? A literature review was performed using the PRISMA-ScR (2018) guidelines between Jan 2017 and June 2024 using the PubMed, ArXiv and semantic scholar databases. Of the 694 records identified, 12 studies met the inclusion criteria.

There are significant social and structural barriers to integrated delivery of PrEP and medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD), limiting women's ability to access these life-saving interventions. In a two parallel-arm randomized controlled trial, we are assessing an innovative eHealth delivery model that integrates PrEP with MOUD and is tailored to meet the specific needs of women involved in the criminal legal system.

Introduction: Language barriers within clinical settings pose a threat to patient safety. As a potential impediment to understanding, they hinder the process of obtaining informed consent and uptake of critical medical information. This study investigates the impact of the current use of interpreters, with a particular focus on of engaging laypersons as interpreters, rather than professional interpreters potentially affecting patient safety.
