Live Video is the most frequently used part of telehealth. It is a medium of audio visual interaction between patient and healthcare professionals. Live video for telemedicine can be applied to a wide variety of applications- general care to emergency rooms.
Its major impact is on the access to healthcare of people in rural areas. Live video eliminates the logistical barrier and geographical constraints. This became popular in COVID as social distancing became essential. Live video technology providers need to be HIPPA compliant as a lot of PHI is transferred through such calls.
Technological infrastructure also needs to be maintained as this aids people with low to medium access to healthcare. With live video, a lot of development can be done in the sphere of healthcare to build capacities and capabilities. If developed with AI, this could be a big thing in the telemedicine industry.
