Telemedicine - The Future is Now for Moving Telemedicine into Mainstream Treatment
by Jack Richard Online Market Research ReportsTelemedicine is a creation of the 20th century. First used primarily for military and space applications, it has been becoming more widespread in use in recent years. There are three main types of telemedicine applications: store-and-forward, remote monitoring and interactive services.
Interest in telemedicine is growing globally, particularly in the
fields of teleradiology, telepathology and teledermatology. Globally, cost is
seen as the major barrier to telemedicine programs. In the US, telemedicine has
been promoted as a way to serve rural populations, but in the next few years it
is expected to spread to a much wider patient base.
A number of key challenges still need to be addressed for the use of
telemedicine to become more widespread in the US. Licensing and reimbursement
remain major hurdles to physician participation in telemedicine.
These challenges are being addressed at the state level, with an increasing
number of state legislatures taking up the issues. There is also federal
legislation being looked at by Congress. Issues of FDA Regulation and possible
issues of taxation also need to be clarified to help promote wider use of
telemedicine.
The report, “Telemedicine - The Future is Now for Moving
Telemedicine into Mainstream Treatment” was written to support both the
biopharmaceutical and health care industries in understanding the use of
telemedicine and preparing for the expected growth it will see in the coming
years. This report provides data, analysis, and CBR’s insights on this key
growth market and where the challenges to it may exist.
