Telemedicine technologies use modern communication platforms to conduct virtual interaction between patients and healthcare professionals. Telemedicine technology can be used in two distinct approaches: real-time interaction and store and forward approach. Telemedicine technologies allow the physician and patient to communicate despite geographical boundaries. Benefits provided by telemedicine technologies and an increase in investment are likely to provide lucrative opportunities for the medical second opinion market. For instance, in June 2024, IMG partnered with Teladoc Health to enhance the well-being of IMG customers by providing virtual access to healthcare professionals wherever they are traveling. It will also extend telehealth service capabilities for IMG customers with existing telehealth services and introduce telehealth services to additional IMG plans. In July 2023, AMD Global Telemedicine Inc. collaborated with Collain Healthcare to provide an electronic health records (EHR) solution and combined vital solutions that revolutionize healthcare delivery in senior living facilities, providing real-time information, reducing errors, and streamlining clinical workflows. The increasing number of partnerships and collaborations in telemedicine technologies is expected to offer lucrative opportunities for market growth in the coming years.
