Zooming Ahead
From USD245 million in 2012 to a forecasted USD1.4 billion in 2018,
the telemedicine market in the US is indeed undergoing a tremendous
journey. One of the main reasons driving this growth is the rise in the number
of computing devices coupled with rapidly evolving wireless networks, such as
3G, 4G and Wi-Fi, which has led to increased connectivity between patients
and doctors.

Telemedicine has rapidly changed the way healthcare services are delivered in the US by
extending the reach of healthcare providers to newer, remote markets that lack medical
facilities. While telemedicine is not the panacea for the ills of healthcare, it goes a long way
with regard to cost control, savings, crucial access to medical facilities, and better outcomes for
patients.
Developed nations such as the US have set the trend for this technological innovation
and are expected to adopt it as their prominent healthcare service delivery in the near future.
On a global level, developing regions with limited infrastructure are expected to adopt
telemedicine as an integral link between patients and health centers. In countries such as India
and Mexico, telemedicine has already made a significant impact and several pilot projects have
been implemented in major hospitals in these regions.
The percentage of US healthcare centres offering telemedicine is expected to increase from
22% in 2014 to 37% in 2015. The diffusion of telemedicine into the US healthcare system is
eminent and is expected to redefine the the way service is provided for patients.
