<strong>Telepsychiatry</strong> <strong>Market</strong><br />

The third factor is cost reduction. <strong>Telepsychiatry</strong> ensures that neither the psychiatrist nor their patient needs<br />

to travel. All that they require is an Internet connection, saving them substantial costs. The telepsychiatry<br />

market can also be beneficial for psychiatrists seeking a quick second opinion. Psychiatrists have the<br />

advantage of beginning the treatment quickly <strong>and</strong> sharing their knowledge, while their patients can be<br />

assured of the doctor’s diagnoses being validated.<br />

<strong>Telepsychiatry</strong> <strong>Market</strong> Restraints<br />

There are two sides to every coin. Just as Information Technology & telecommunications have benefited us<br />

in numerous ways, they have caused a lot of problems like data hacking, privacy concerns, identity fraud etc.<br />

which were unheard of in the past. Patchy Internet connectivity can be a serious constraint to the growth of<br />

the telepsychiatry market. Mobile coverage can be notoriously fickle even in developed countries <strong>and</strong> there<br />

are many regions around the world which still use antiquated 2G network connections. There is a strong<br />

likelihood of a patient being disconnected from their psychiatrist in the middle of a therapy session, causing<br />

great inconvenience to both. A second challenge can be privacy concerns. People have become digitally wary<br />

now with all the cases of data hacking, email leaks <strong>and</strong> confidential data being made public by insider leaks.<br />

They might be concerned that their psychotherapy sessions could be compromised or might even be<br />

recorded making them reluctant to agree to this kind of treatment. The third restraint for the telepsychiatry<br />

market is the ambiguity of regulatory policy. <strong>Telepsychiatry</strong> blurs the line between medicine <strong>and</strong> technology<br />

<strong>and</strong> each country has separate laws for each, making governing this field a challenge.<br />
