Abstract
In early 2018, we reported that the number of telehealth or virtual health interactions — which can take the form of live video interface between patients and practitioners, remote patient monitoring, and remote storing and forwarding of patient data — would surpass the number of physical visits by 2024. The COVID-19 pandemic has shattered those predictions. It is now predicted that virtual care visits will rise to more than one billion visits this year, catapulting us into what could be the largest change of workflow and expectations around patient-doctor interactions in the modern medicine era.
