Data Fidelity in Telehealth

Meaning

Data fidelity in telehealth refers to the accuracy and trustworthiness of physiological, biochemical, or self-reported data collected remotely and transmitted for clinical review. It encompasses the extent to which the remote data accurately represents the patient’s true biological status at the time of measurement, without degradation or distortion during capture or transmission. High data fidelity is essential for sound clinical judgment in the management of hormonal health, where precise quantitative measurements guide therapeutic adjustments. Ensuring data integrity is a prerequisite for effective, personalized remote care.
