The Rise of Telemedicine
Keyword(s):
In 2017, the World Health Organization estimated that over half of the world’s population does not have access to healthcare services. Not having healthcare can be fatal, but telemedicine is proving to be a possible solution. Telemedicine is the delivery of healthcare services at a distance, enabling the exchange of needed information for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease, advancing the health of individuals and their communities (WHO, 2010). With the COVID-19 pandemic causing a spike in telemedicine usage, this emerging technology has proven to be a useful alternative to save lives around the world.
