Recent advancements in medical technology, such as telehealth services, have influenced the healthcare sector tremendously. While telehealth technology and its application are not new, it has not been widely utilized despite the numerous benefits and opportunities it provides. However, recent policy changes have lowered obstacles to telehealth access and pushed the use of telemedicine to deliver acute, chronic, primary, and specialist care. In order to successfully integrate this technology in all areas of healthcare, further study is required to fully understand the best practices and challenges of adoption. Advancement, Opportunities, and Practices in Telehealth Technology discusses advanc...
