Telemedicine: an alternative during the COVID-19 crisis (Preprint)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
UNSTRUCTURED During times of infectious disease and catastrophes like this COVID-19 pandemic, the safety of the healthcare workers and limiting spread and burden of disease is crucial for the maintenance of a functioning healthcare system. Telemedicine is a remote method of healthcare delivery that has recently been implemented and its use in routine practice is being considered. This virtual platform can allow for forward triage and screening of patients through patient-physician communication via smartphones and other technologies. For its effective implementation, changes in staff training and patient education as well as investment in compatible equipment are needed. Proactive advocacy of telehealth should be done as it can provide far more benefits and aid with the daily and emergency challenges faced by healthcare systems.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
