| | JULY 20196UTLOOK Healthcare Tech HEALTHCARE TECHNOLOGY KNOWLEDGE NETWORKAlex D'souzaManaging Editoreditor@healthcaretechoutlook.comThe industry of telemedicine is at a tipping point, expanding far beyond interactions between physicians and patients into entirely new ways to deliver healthcare and practice medicine. This proliferation of modern telemedicine is popularly segregated into four-pronged framework including direct-to-consumer, self-service, clinician collaboration, and spaces. As Direct-to-consumer encompasses many of the products and services that have dominated telemedicine to date, it has been one of the most commercially successful aspect of the industry. With an increased rate of consolidations and entrepreneurship in healthcare, direct to customers has attracted a newer set of consumers who might not otherwise use medical services. While workflow solutions are today built into most telehealth apps, the next generation of products is beginning to emerge, with some incorporating artificial intelligence into the process. Through these apps medical practitioners are not only are guiding their patients through a series of questions, they are also collect data for developing bots that can interpret those responses. By the time the patient connects with the provider, a tremendous amount of legwork is complete.Another area of growth for telemedicine is provider collaboration which could be vital in enhancing the communication between nursing staff and physicians, as well as physician consultation with specialists. Medical collaboration encompasses more than video; it also includes texting, phone calls, and email. The fourth bucket in the telemedicine paradigm is what Dr. Pitt views as "the most interesting of all." It involves a shift in thinking with the idea that future patients can be treated through telemedicine at home, in the hospital, in nursing homes, in physician's offices and other places.The final aspect of telemedicine is Space, which is envisioned to be designed and configured to include placement of secure cabling, and any necessary equipment such as high-resolution cameras, speakers and monitors--similar to the way an eICU might be equipped today. Equipping nursing homes and hospital rooms this way would enable a variety of practitioners to provide bedside care more conveniently for the patient and the provider. Patients wouldn't have to be transported, and practitioners could see more patients without disruption. With these ongoing developments at the brim of the industry, our goal with this edition is to highlight the best-of-breed telemedicine players who are driving the said disruption. This edition also blends thought leadership from subject matter experts including exclusive insights from CXOs and CIOs within the industry.
