I'm Brian Lee, one of the content creators for the south central Telehealth resource center and the UAMS Institute for Digital Health and Innovation. Welcome to Telehealth Talk.

I was able to have a conversation with Dr. Sarah Rhoads Professor at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center and Hannah McCoy Research Associate for the former UAMS Center for Distance Health, it’s now called the UAMS Institute for Digital Health and Innovation. Dr. Rhoads and Hannah are part of a team whose Telelaction study aimed to utilize technology to aid in breastfeeding education.
