Description
Over the past two decades, plenty of telehealth applications have been successfully implemented. Applications such as the transfer of digital photos and patient records and the use of medical video endoscopes to monitor patients’ physical examination have demonstrated great results. For many players, the introduction of telehealth in the global
medical tourism market
has been a profitable strategy.
Telehealth improves the efficiency, customer service, and quality of medical tourism services via enhanced coordination of care between patients and care providers. According to Transparency Market Research (TMR), the global medical tourism market is expected to exhibit a 17.90% CAGR from 2013 to 2019. A rise in the elderly population and the rising number of uninsured people are some of the factors expected to propel the global medical tourism market.
