American Hospital Association (AHA) study report found that approximately 67% of U.S. hospitals were connected remotely to doctors and patients via video and other communication technologies in 2016. The sudden global coronavirus outbreak is remote because these solutions help caregivers effectively communicate with patients and find better answers to their health concerns during pandemics, boosting medical use. Due to the social distances practiced in different countries worldwide, virtual care provision is an effective solution for safe and excellent communication. World Health Organization (WHO) mentioned telehealth as a critical service in the COVID-19 emergency policy response.
Additionally, a shortage of healthcare professionals worldwide, telehealth benefits, and telecommunication infrastructure advancements further accelerate the global telehealth market. The increasing adoption rate of connected devices for managing chronic diseases and the growing requirement for affordable treatment options due to rising healthcare costs is projected to accelerate the global telehealth market growth. R&D organizations and academic institutions are focusing on developing innovative products with advanced technology to enhance the efficiency of healthcare services, the growing rate of chronic diseases among people, and a rising number of HCIT programs to drive the global telehealth market growth.
Furthermore, ongoing research on developing new technologies favors ordinary people. Increasing medical tourism in emerging countries such as India, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, and China further stimulates the telehealth market's growth.
Poor internet access in rural areas, lack of consumer knowledge, especially in undeveloped countries, and increased cost of installing telehealth solutions are significant restraints that significantly impact the telehealth market growth. Payment constraints, misdiagnosis, less implementation, intense competition among vendors, and successful business strategy and human resources are the main challenges in the global telehealth market. In addition, reimbursement and coverage for telemedicine services comparable to in-person services are a big challenge for the telehealth market.
