Impact 0f COVID-19 on the Telehealth Market
1.1 A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE
It did not take novel coronavirus for the telehealth industry to start gaining traction among healthcare providers and patients. Telehealth was already experiencing significant momentum and growth prior to this public health emergency, particularly over the past few years as the technology has become more streamlined and young tech-savvy generation is gaining interest in this care model. The appetite for telehealth is growing, but many consumers are confused or unsure about its availability.
What was thwarting the growth of the telehealth industry before the outbreak?
1.2 WHAT HAS CHANGED WITH COVID-19?
Statistically, 40% of doctors are providing care to coronavirus patients, and rest 60% of doctors are forced to stop their services until told otherwise. Social distancing and lockdowns across the countries due to COVID-19 have forced non-urgent healthcare providers to close their doors and pushed many patients to seek care remotely. Due to the uncertainty of the COVID-19 crisis, a number of care providers are thinking about changing their service model and implementing the telehealth solutions as part of their regular medical setup. Telehealth is no longer a supplementary care option but a must-have option for healthcare professionals and patients.
