Telemedicine in India during COVID-19

Travel has been limited due to corona virus disease (COVID-19), and social isolation has become the new standard. This pandemic outbreak has made telemedicine more critical than ever. This study aims to determine the factors that influence the rate of telemedicine adoption and the impact of the COVID-19 on these factors. The Medical Council of India issued practice guidelines in March 2020, anticipating an increase in the use of telemedicine by health-care providers. In this report, the literature on telemedicine and its implementations was reviewed and summarized in a historical and current sense, with a particular focus on recently published practice guidelines. Telemedicine would certainly broaden and become more commonly used.
