## Prompt

```text
Help me plan a telehealth service and decide what can realistically and safely be done remotely.

**Specialty:** [e.g. optometry/ophthalmology, dermatology, physiotherapy, mental health]
**Who I am:** [clinician / clinic owner / health-tech founder]
**Patients:** [who, where, typical needs]
**Country/region:** [JURISDICTION, since licensing and privacy rules differ]
**Model:** [app, video visits, store-and-forward, remote monitoring, hybrid with in-person]
**Budget and team:** [DETAILS]

Cover:
1. **What works remotely:** For my specialty, sort common assessments into (a) reliable remotely, (b) possible with patient-side devices or a trained assistant, (c) requires in-person. Explain why for each.
2. **Red flags and triage:** Symptoms that must trigger urgent in-person or emergency referral, and how the service will catch them.
3. **Patient workflow:** intake, consent, history, assessment, decision, prescribing or referral, follow-up.
4. **Technology:** video, image capture quality standards, home devices, records integration, secure messaging.
5. **Regulation and risk:** licensing across regions, prescribing rules, privacy law (e.g. HIPAA, GDPR), medical device rules if software makes clinical decisions, malpractice coverage. Mark each [VERIFY LOCALLY].
6. **Evidence:** what types of studies would support each remote assessment; do not cite specific studies unless I provide them.
7. **Launch plan:** a pilot scope, success metrics (diagnostic agreement with in-person, referral rate, patient satisfaction), and a standard operating procedure outline.

This is planning support, not clinical or legal advice; validate the clinical protocol with licensed clinicians and regulatory advisers.
