With the Silver Tsunami on its way, telehealth is ready for its moment

Whether it's after-hours coverage at skilled nursing facilities or connected tools for home health monitoring, remote care technology is reaching maturation just when it will be needed most.

Grant Chamberlain, managing director in the corporate finance healthcare practice at Ziegler, has long experience of telehealth-focused investments. He's advised major health systems (Baylor Health, Cedars-Sinai, Sharp) and vendors such as AirStrip, MDLive and Voalte.

He's also director at the ATA and serves on the board of the not-for-profit MAVEN Project, which helps deliver care to underserved populations with volunteer physicians affiliated with Harvard, Yale, Stanford, UCLA and others.

Chamberlain agrees that telehealth maturity, acceptance and adoption have been a long time coming – and he thinks we still have a way to go before its benefits are fully felt.
