Telehealth and It’s Application in Pandemic |Biomedgrid

Telehealth is an innovative method to provide medical care to patients through the utilization of digital services. The process of medical information exchange between clinical doctors or clinicians and patients can be done digitally, such as video, phone, and online patient portals. Telehealth can be beneficial to large patients in several fields of medicine and increase healthcare equity and palliative treatment. During the pandemic, the utilization of telehealth increased substantially and efforts were made to ensure healthcare was effectively provided to patients. Access to healthcare increased significantly as telehealth allowed patients to overcome obstacles such as transportation, distance, scheduling availabilities, and with the pandemic, close contact. Although use has risen over the past few years, various aspects of telehealth need to be further evaluated to determine its continual use beyond the pandemic.
