In-person appointments in specialized centers are not readily available, especially on short notice. The purpose of this study was to analyze patient-specialist communication through a telemedical platform.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      In a randomized controlled study 45 MG patients were observed over three months.

Specialists initiated contact a median of eight times per patient, most frequently addressing medical concerns (190, 49.4%), 38.4% of which were recommendations for medication changes. Specialists also addressed technical (154, 40.0%), organizational (36, 9.4%) and other (5, 1.3%) issues. Contacts with physicians outside the study team did not differ between groups. Perceived specialist accessibility was rated higher with telemedical support by the intervention group.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>MG patients have a notable demand for timely advice especially concerning treatment recommendations.
