Telehealth was rising in popularity before the pandemic. As consumers moved with modern technology, businesses worked out ways to bring them products with minimal effort. Eating out became eating in via an app. A night at the cinema was replaced with Netflix and Chill. COVID-19 made telehealth’s availability more attractive to customers and research suggests that it has grown 38 times higher compared to its pre-pandemic level. 

Now, telehealth’s job is to maintain its new customers and continue to support all patients as digital healthcare continues to evolve.
