The practice of providing urgent medical care remotely via digital platforms is known as acute care telemedicine. It enables patients to obtain emergency medical care without having to visit a hospital in person. This creative method saves time and may even save lives by delivering medical expertise right to the patient's location. Trauma, heart attacks, strokes, and other urgent medical demands are all included in the broad category of acute care telemedicine.
Global Acute Care Telemedicine Market Driving Factors and Challenges
Driving Factors-
Chronic Disease Prevalence Is Rising
The global increase in the prevalence of chronic illnesses is a key factor propelling the acute care telemedicine market. Telemedicine platforms can be an effective means of providing the continuous care and monitoring that chronic conditions like cancer, diabetes, and heart disease require. Patients with long-term illnesses can benefit from remote monitoring, medication management, and consultations thanks to telemedicine, which also eases the strain on healthcare systems. Patients can better manage their chronic diseases with the use of telemedicine, which lowers healthcare costs and improves health outcomes by offering convenient and accessible care.
Challenges-
Limited access and technical problems
Telemedicine may not be feasible for patients in rural or isolated locations due to limited access to dependable equipment or high-speed internet. A mistake or insufficient therapy may also result from technical problems that disrupt the patient-doctor contact, such as poor video or audio quality, dropped calls, or connectivity problems. These technical problems can occasionally result in technical inaccuracies pertaining to the diagnosis, therapy, or treatment readings. Technical issues will be a major obstacle to receiving prompt treatment, particularly in acute care settings when prompt and emergency care is required. As a result, it may significantly impede the market expansion for acute care telemedicine.
Impact of COVID-19 on Global Acute Care Telemedicine Market
The extensive use of acute care telemedicine has been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The need for remote healthcare services has increased due to the necessity of social separation and reducing face-to-face interaction. By enabling medical professionals to remotely evaluate patients, conduct virtual consultations, and keep an eye on their situations, acute care telemedicine has been important in the triage and management of COVID-19 cases.
