REPORT DESCRIPTION<br />
<strong>Global</strong> <strong>Telehealth</strong> <strong>Market</strong> – Overview<br />
According to the <strong>2017</strong> U.S. Telemedicine Industry Benchmark Survey conducted among healthcare executives, physicians, nurses, and<br />
other healthcare professionals throughout the U.S., it was observed that over half of survey participants noted telemedicine as a top priority<br />
or high priority service in their respective organizations. Moreover, study findings also show that telemedicine continues to evolve from a<br />
specialty service to a mainstream service. <strong>Telehealth</strong> is a telecommunication technology, which is also referred to as e-Health or<br />
telemedicine. It enables healthcare professionals to evaluate, diagnose, and treat patients in remote locations. According to the 2016 E-<br />
health and Telemedicine report by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, it revealed that 59 million Americans are living in<br />
Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSAs)-rural and urban areas with shortages of primary care providers.<br />
<strong>Telehealth</strong> helps in improving relationship between patients and healthcare provider for enhanced patient care and satisfaction. <strong>Telehealth</strong><br />
provides medical expertise in quick and convenient manner, and at reduced cost. Using telehealth, healthcare professionals can advise<br />
patients at their homes and workplaces. Physicians can also treat their patients from hospitals, medical facilities or from other places of<br />

Increasing number of geriatric population, higher incidences of non-communicable disease such as cardiovascular disease, metabolic<br />
disorders, Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, diabetics, and other mental health problems which require prolonged treatment would aid in growth<br />
of the telehealth market in near future. The nature of most non-communicable disease (NCDs) requires well-integrated healthcare system to<br />
treat chronic healthcare conditions. Moreover the challenges faced to meet required healthcare professionals, financial and infrastructure<br />
resources further can be addressed effectively through telehealth market. The 2016 Physician Supply and Demand Report, released by<br />
Association of American Medical College (AAMC), projects the significant physician shortfall in the U.S. between 2014 and <strong>2025</strong>, in the<br />
range of 61,700 to 94,700.<br />
