ABSTRACT
For long-term and episodic telehealth, we start to see the “final mile experience” with home delivery of pharmaceuticals, durable medical equipment, and even direct-to-consumer lab testing. [...]I am optimistic that synergistic integration of telehealth services with big data, AI-powered algorithms and information from wearables or mobile devices will have the greatest positive impact on healthcare and its outcomes over the next 2–5 years (more than any digital technology alone). [...]rideshare companies bent the cost curve to the point where riders can stop paying high monthly parking fees (aka insurance premiums) and continue to get low-cost, safe, reliable transportation (aka virtual visits) when needed. [...]telehealth will follow the rideshare roadmap…or maybe we will just merge industries.2 Ingrid Vasiliu-Feltes Over the past few years, we have witnessed a significant increase in telehealth adoption and expansion. “Tele-XR-Health” (a telehealth clinic with VR powered medical treatments) has the potential to redefine and reshape medical education, medical training, virtual healthcare delivery, and virtual clinical trials.
