For patients experiencing difficulty in easy access to treatments and physicians, telemedicine proves to be a boon. Virtual telemedicine sessions through a host of applications and services are decreasing the travel time and number of visits to care providers, bringing forth considerable reduction in cost of care. This technology enablement that has profoundly improved patient care is centered on two-way videos, low cost cameras, mobile devices, WebRTC and wireless tools. The quality of care delivered through telemedicine supersedes traditional treatment methodologies in specific medical disciplines and specialized knowledge, where the patient satisfaction level is very high. With the focus shifting towards higher levels of patient engagement, the goal is to further clinical effectiveness where the emphasis is on enabling technologies that present a solution and not pose as a hurdle in telemedicine. For instance is innovative user interfaces and flexible design that enhances the user experience for both patients and physicians alike. These solutions posit scalability and the ability to support various telemedicine requirements across the entire care spectrum--including accessibility on host of end devices. As telemedicine impacts the whole spectrum of healthcare delivery, adaptable and single platforms that are secure and HIPAA compliant will continue to add momentum, to the secure transmission of wellness information. Given the sizable percentage of the population needing constant monitoring, telemedicine can cater to a large potential audience through effective interfaces with mobile devices and wearables. These enabling technologies can assist in tracking and relaying patient parameters for chronic illnesses, and improve care due to adherence to follow-up sessions. Moving forward, hardware and network reliability alongside improved mobile technologies and EHR integration will pave a strong foundation for the telemedicine economics. In this special edition, we have featured the 10 Most Promising Telemedicine Solution Providers who are powering on the revolution, alongside insightful articles on transmitting clinical effectiveness across the care continuum and geographies.Affordable Care across Frontiers
