The COVID pandemic has impacted the adoption of telehealth solutions. While many organizations and government sources were working towards telehealth solutions, the post-pandemic world looks more welcoming to healthcare solutions backed by technology.
24*7 care apps by hospitals, at-home service through mobile apps, laws about telehealth services, etc. were all present. But, the fact that one could not step out of the home to visit a doctor forced the majority to accept online healthcare solutions. All general illnesses and also medication for COVID could be taken easily via video calls which felt a safer option when a pandemic was knocking on every single door.
COVID pandemic might not be the reason why telehealth is surging, but it is a reason why both patients and providers are accepting upcoming solutions. It has been a boon for the telehealth industry as people seem to be welcoming, adaptive, and have a positive outlook.
