From her home in Cape Cod, Julie Perkins used MassGeneral Hospital for Childrens (MGHfC) telehealth technology to stay connected with her daughter Fiona as the 5-year-old recovered from reconstructive airway surgery at MGHfC. Fiona was sedated in a coma-like state for a week so her body could heal, but each day, Julie was able to check in on her daughter and speak with her care team through a secure iPad provided by MGHfC. The MGHfC Pediatric Intensive Care Unit began using #telemedicine in 2013 to enable parents to be active participants in their child’s care even when not physically present.
