TELEHEALTH
54% Increase of use of telehealth in 2020 from 2019
When people first started using telehealth, there were a number of barriers to adoption. Although some of these issues have been temporarily resolved -- from insurance reimbursement to quality of care -- those fixes need to be made permanent in order for telehealth to be a regular part of the growing and expanding medical practice in the future.
Telehealth is:
$61 billion: Annual sales of the global telehealth market in 2019
$560 billion: Estimated annual sales of the global telehealth market
in 2027
$37 billion: Telemedicine company Teledoc’s current valuation
$3.5 billion: Current worth of the telemental health sector in the US
50%: Medicare patients who started using telehealth once it was covered in 2020, compared to 1% in 2019
