After the rise in the prevalence of COVID-19, the aim of every healthcare provider was to cater to its patients using methods that do not require in-person visits. Telemedicine solutions helped provide necessary care to the patients by allowing them to communicate to a healthcare provider using a telecommunication platform Why is Telemedicine Important? Telemedicine is a new concept in the healthcare sector but due to the recent rapid technological advancements, it has been growing expeditiously. The purpose of telemedicine is to improve a patient’s health by enabling two-way, real-time communication between a patient and a healthcare practitioner at a distant site Initially, the aim of creating telemedicine providers was to treat and cater to the patients living in remote areas where there was a shortage of medical facilities. While it is still being used to address these problems, it’s now also becoming a tool of convenience for the patients.
