5 Surprising Ways In Which Telemedicine Is Revolutionizing Healthcare

“Telehealth is not a specific service, but a collection of means to enhance care and education delivery,” says the Center for Connected Health Policy (CCHP). CCHP further classify telehealth into four types of services, live-video conferencing, mobile health, remote patient monitoring, and store-and-forward. Most telehealth platforms provide one or more of these services, to a niche patient or consumer segment.

Here are five surprising ways in which telehealth is revolutionizing healthcare.  

  1. Remote elderly monitoring
  2. Remote psychiatric care
  3. Getting a second opinion
  4. Care in remote locations
  5. Redefining health insurance
