What is Telehealth?
Telehealth, also known as telemedicine, is healthcare that is delivered remotely through technology, usually including video chat capability.
Telehealth was created to enable doctors to “see” their rural patients from afar. This proved a boon for the 20% of Americans who live so far away from their doctor that they have no easy access to routine or emergency care. Only about 1 in 10 primary care doctors serve people living in the rural parts of the country. Access to specialists is even rarer.
These days Telehealth is expanding greatly and is now available to almost everyone and is widely supported by the medical community. More than 75% of U.S. hospitals offer Telehealth for many of their patients. Telehealth patients have continued to nearly double annually for the past decade, with some 8% of U.S. consumers have tried it.
