The healthcare industry is undergoing a paradigm shift, with virtual medicine here to replace conventional medical services. In the face of rising cases of chronic conditions, increasing healthcare costs, and social determinants of health, virtual care improves the quality of healthcare services by placing patients at the center and providing ongoing access, personalized care, and engagement.
According to a report by marketsandmarkets.com, the global telehealth market was valued at $87.2 billion in 2022 and is poised to reach $285.7 billion by 2027, registering a CAGR of 26.6 percent between 2022 – 2027. This unprecedented growth can be attributed to the growing geriatric and medically underserved populations, advancements in telecommunications, and the benefits of telehealth, given the current shortage of physicians and care personnel.
Although the healthcare industry has been relatively slower in leveraging digital technologies, the excessive burden placed by the pandemic has expedited the adoption of a digital-first approach. To meet the rising demands for healthcare services, organizations are now leveraging AI-powered technologies to provide automated interactions with patients during critical times. AI-based healthcare chatbots, when integrated with medical information like symptoms, medications, treatments, and conditions, can help save crucial time.
