Market Overview

Telehealth refers to the process of distribution of healthcare or health-related services using telecommunication technologies or electronic information devices. Telehealth helps in delivering long-distance or remote contact between the patient and the physician. Healthcare using telehealth systems covers a broad range of medical care and includes medical education, reminders, care, monitoring, intervention, advice, and remote admissions. The scope of telehealth is extremely vast and continues to grow with time.

In the coming years, it is expected to cover almost all aspects of traditional medical care. Sometimes, telehealth and telemedicine are used as synonyms of one another; however, the Health Resources and Services Administration has mentioned that there is a key difference between the two. The former includes promotive, preventive, and curative medical care delivery whereas the latter describes only remote medical services like monitoring and diagnosis. Telehealth has a larger scope as compared to telemedicine and the global market has shown tremendous growth in the last 3 years driven by the pandemic.

Growth Drivers

• Growing internet and associated technology to drive market demand

The global telehealth market is projected to expand due to the growing internet technology along with associated devices and access to the internet. Telehealth majorly witnessed surging growth when the sector started leveraging the benefits of the internet. The arrival of high-speed internet connections further encouraged global market growth since speed is essential in medical care. Increased access to devices like smartphones, laptops, computers, and other portable devices helped in bringing telehealth to the homes of the people as well aided its promotion within the medical community.

When access to traditional healthcare becomes impossible due to various factors like the absence of healthcare facilities in remote areas, lack of mobility in patients, lack of transport, low funding, and lack of medical professionals to name a few, telehealth has proven to be extremely beneficial, especially during Covid-19, which is when it became one of the few measures through which doctors could cater to the needs of the patients.

Restraints

• Growing cases of healthcare fraud to restrict market expansion

With the growth in the telehealth industry, there has been a surge in the number of reported cases related to healthcare fraud which can take different forms ranging from problems due to false or inaccurate billing to more complex kickback scandals. The insurance schemes covering medical care are provided with a misrepresentation of the virtual services undertaken and this could lead to insurance fraud if the patient is incorrectly billed. In 2021, the Department of Justice, USA, laid federal charges on 138 medical professionals for healthcare-related malpractices including telehealth fraud.

Opportunities

• Use of artificial intelligence to provide growth opportunities

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning in telehealth care is expected to open more doors for tremendous growth during the projection period. AI-driven systems can provide doctors and medical professionals access to more data-driven information allowing them to make real-time decisions and provide overall improved patient care and experience. The global telehealth market is witnessing a surge in the number of research and innovation activities in the telehealthcare segment which is a positive sign toward future growth.

Challenges

• Lack of technical knowledge among patients to challenge the market expansion

In various incidences, the patient may not have the necessary technical skills to anchorage the benefits of telehealthcare and it is one of the key challenges that the telehealth industry players and medical professionals face. This is especially prevalent in remote areas that may not have the right education infrastructure. Hence it is recommended for companies to first survey the area and understand the skills level of the population before launching services. The market players may also have to invest in training the users with the right education programs to ensure that the programs can run successfully.
