About
Dr. TY Koh is a pioneering figure in telemedicine, with a focused expertise in telepaediatrics and the delivery of specialist healthcare to underserved rural and remote populations. His major contribution lies in demonstrating how mobile telepaediatric services can effectively bridge critical gaps in clinical care and professional support, particularly in vast, geographically challenging regions like Queensland, Australia. In his landmark 2010 review, Koh systematically analyzed how telepaediatric consultations could replace many costly and burdensome patient transfers to tertiary hospitals, some located up to 3,000 km away. This work, cited over a dozen times, has provided a foundational evidence base for health policy and service design, showing that remote specialist referrals are not only feasible but can dramatically reduce travel-related stress, expense, and time for families. By highlighting the integration of mobile technology into routine clinical workflows, Koh’s research has helped shape modern telemedicine frameworks, ensuring that even the most isolated communities gain equitable access to paediatric sub-specialists. His work remains a key reference for researchers and practitioners seeking to expand telehealth services in low-density populations worldwide.
