Abstract
This paper presents a study about the impact of the so-called teleconsults applied in those patients belonging to peripheral areas of Lima city with a diagnosis of diabetes and manifesting depressive episodes. We focus in essence in the capability and efficiency of the teleconsults to tackle the progress of diabetes accompanied of depress in adult population. Firstly we have applied a survey whose resulting statistics enters a mathematical formalism based on probabilities of success and by which we have evaluated for several scenarios with different efficiencies that have been constructed with the parameters of Telemedicine. We have found for a concrete human group that when the patient adds teleconsults in their treatment of diabetes and depression, their recovery in terms of stabilizing their glucose and a by stopping depression in a very early stage could take 15 3 days after the 5th day of teleconsults. Our study have concluded that psychological disturbs on the behavior of patients might have effect on their diabetes's treatment particularly in those living in peripheral areas of Lima city. However we have identified that the eHealth system might be limited seriously.
