Discussing virtual care and digital inclusion, Dr Barmecha noted that "Virtual care is not for everyone, but there are some very, very good and specific use cases." He stressed that "Just by giving them medical devices is not going to solve the problem," highlighting the need for digital literacy, patient education, and community support. As he put it, "Technology is a very good solution, but it has to be done in a way that it does not become more disparate."
