Statistics report on telemedicine

Telemedicine

Telemedicine, also referred to as telehealth, has been a vital tool in the healthcare sector since the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic. The ability to provide virtual visits and check-ups was vital due to the importance of enforcing social distancing. Investment into the technology increased at this point, although the technology had been used sparingly before. High acceptance of telemedicine has also enabled the technology to remain prevalent after the pandemic.
Contained within this statistics report are chapters on the global market, the situation in both North America and Europe, experiences of patients and physicians alike, and thoughts on the future of telemedicine.
