According to the American Medical Association, approximately 70% of doctor visits and 40% of ER visits could be avoided with a telemedicine consultation* and an increasing number of chronic conditions can be remotely handled effectively with mHealth.
The number of patients using telehealth services is rapidly rising from around 350,000 in 2013 to 7 million in 2018.* In the US alone, the telehealth virtual visits market is expected to reach US$813 million in 2021 growing at 18%.*
Furthermore, a report released by the Association of American Medical Colleges predics that by 2025 there will be between 60,000 and 90,000 fewer doctors in the United States. Primary care doctors, in particular, are in short supply. The report estimates that between 12,500 and 31,000 primary care doctors will be needed even as retail clinics, outpatient centers and other models use more nurse practitioners, physician assistants and other health professionals.
