The global adoption of telehealth technologies will possibly permit governments to make substantial savings on healthcare, while delivering significant medical services to both rural and under-served communities, in accordance to business intelligence provider GBI Research.
The company’s recent report* states that the telehealth market is being driven by the accelerated development of mobile technology and applications, a greater requirement for cost-effective healthcare, growing populations, and increased government funding.
Rishikesh Mandilwar and Rodrigo Gutierrez Gamboa, Managing Analysts at GBI Research and co-authors of the report, state that telehealth is explained as the delivery of healthcare or data at a distance through technology, and involves services like assessment, monitoring, communications, disease prevention, and education. The Insurance Journal estimates that it could possibly give over $6 billion a year in healthcare savings in the US if the technology is extremely adopted.
