This was a cross-sectional survey conducted online last October 2020 involving adult and pediatric neurologists in the Philippines. The internal consistency of the questionnaire adapted from  UTAUT model was determined using Cronbach’s alpha. We performed logistic regression analysis to determine which UTAUT model constructs were significant factors on the intent to practice teleneurology.

The study yielded a 28.8% response rate. Among the respondents (n₁=147), 95.2% (n₂ = 140) practiced teleneurology during the pandemic, and 77.6% (n₁=147) planned to continue it after the pandemic. Teleneurology was mostly done on an outpatient basis using a laptop on social media platforms via videoconferencing due to easier access for both end-users. The identified benefits of teleneurology are a wider area of practice, an avenue for education, and high patient satisfaction. The common barriers identified were difficulties in neurologic examination and lack of facilities. The UTAUT model explained 80.9% (95% CI 0.76, 0.86a) of the total variation. Performance expectancy and facilitating conditions affect the intent to use teleneurology.
