The Future Of Remote Health Services

COVID-19 has caused hospitals all over the country to become flooded with new patients - forcing out some of the long-term patients and making them look for a different way to get the attention that they require. Luckily, many patients are able to contact their doctors remotely and are able to receive the treatment they need without needing to be exposed to the virus and freeing up hospital space. In March 2020, The Cleveland Clinic logged over 60,000 telemedicine visits - over 18 times their monthly average. CareCix, which has 20 million users, saw a 50% rise in usage in March alone, Zipnosis reported a 3,600% increase in virtual visits over the course of just 11 days in February. All types of telemedicine tech are being used by many more people - video conferencing, data monitoring, and smartphone apps for telemedicine are all seeing much more traffic than normal.
