What’s holding back Telehealth
Technology Industry?
Today the Telehealth Technology Industry provides comfortable and remote services to
over 74% of US patients. This is because more than 50% of the hospitals in the US
have adopted Advanced Telehealth Solutions and Methodologies.
In spite of adopting advanced telehealth solutions, a big chunk of the population is
devoid of these Services, which is why we still have certain drawbacks and challenges
choking up the telehealthcare system.

shortage of Clinicians, clinical burnout, insufficient beds where access to healthcare
service becomes difficult. Hence insufficient access to health care affects a patient's
well-being and throttles the Country's Healthcare System.
Geriatric Care:
Providing timely, remote, and professional healthcare to patients with complications, for
instance, old-Age, liberal to limited mobility, or situations like Pregnancy where one may
need a little extra protection and help to avail Healthcare facilities easily, is still a task if
we still depend on traditional methods of healthcare systems. However, one of the
advanced telehealth solutions that can overcome such a challenge is RPM.
Low Patient Inflow:
Stepping out of the house has moreover turned out to be a fright for many today, let
alone struggling with the medical appointment process or waiting in long queues in a
hospital or clinic. At times the poor quality of service delivered by the healthcare
providers may also be a setback for the HealthCare industry in 2021.
Loss Of Revenue:
As a clinician, delivering low-quality service as well as misled diagnostic examinations
due to traditional healthcare approaches may comparatively affect the goodwill of the
Health Center. Inefficient or unacceptable quality of service leads to decreased inflow of
patients which eventually reduces the inflow of revenue.
Data Management And Security:
Sorting patient's Data in an outdated way is still a practice followed by various health
centers in the US. This not only leads to a delay in taking proactive actions but also
leads to unnecessary fear of misplacing those records.
Not just the fear of misplacing one's records but also breaching of personal data has
been a looming thread of fear which people are woven through.
