Mental health experts highlighted health issues this pandemic may cause, such as depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Mind\u2013body intervention, such as mindfulness meditation, has accumulated sufficient empirical evidence supporting the efficacy in improving human mental health states and the use for this purpose has been increasing. Notably, some of these interventions have already been tried in the form of telemedicine or eHealth. Korea, located adjacent to China, was exposed to COVID-19 from a relatively early stage, and today it is evaluated to have been successful in controlling this disease. \u201cThe COVID-19 telemedicine center of Korean medicine\u201d has treated more than 20% of the confirmed COVID-19 patients in Korea with telemedicine since 9 March 2020. The center used telemedicine and mind\u2013body modalities (including mindfulness meditation) to improve the mental health of patients diagnosed with COVID-19. In this paper, the telemedicine manual is introduced to provide insights into the development of mental health interventions for COVID-19 and other large-scale disasters in the upcoming new-normal era.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph17124477","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,23]],"date-time":"2020-06-23T06:11:02Z","timestamp":1592892662000},"page":"4477","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["Using Mind\u2013Body Modalities via Telemedicine during the COVID-19 Crisis: Cases in the Republic of Korea"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0068-9904","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chan-Young","family":"Kwon","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oriental Neuropsychiatry, Dong-eui University College of Korean Medicine, Busan 47227, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hui-Yong","family":"Kwak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neuropsychiatry, Kyung Hee University Korean Medicine Hospital at Gangdong, Seoul 05278, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jong Woo","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neuropsychiatry, Kyung Hee University Korean Medicine Hospital at Gangdong, Seoul 05278, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"(2020, June 12).
