With the growing use of innovative technologies in the health care sector, global telemedicine market value is set to increase substantially. The concept of remote patient monitoring is gaining traction broadly among medical professionals and patients alike due to the convenience it offers for diagnosis and treatment. During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a significant uptake in the demand for telemedicine solutions caused by patient cancellations of in-person appointments during the rapid spread of the virus. Across the world, hospitals and clinics switched to videoconferencing for appointments to discuss diagnosis and treatment options with patients for non-critical cases. According to a report by the Department of Health and Human Services, the number of medical visits carried out via telehealth grew from 840,000 in 2019 to 52.7 million in 2020,1 which was a 63-fold increase.

Intelligence (AI) has enabled healthcare providers to take enlightened decisions via proactive data analysis and targeted advice. Telemedicine Solutions with Artificial Intelligence have tremendous potential to re-shape global healthcare scenario in the coming years. Artificial Intelligence enables healthcare software to remotely analyze patient's vital statistics and automate certain tasks based on AI algorithms. For example in AI-based decisions, automation is to analyze certain health data and trigger alert indicating health conditions of patient. Such intelligent systems not only help identify high-risk conditions but can proactively alert patient of any upcoming abnormality.

Some years ago I had an experience that many people can identify with. I needed to see my primary care doctor for an issue I considered urgent but didn't want to wait three to four weeks to get an appointment. The way I see it -- you can remain part of the problem or try to solve it. That's how I came to found Imperium Legacy Technology and develop the iDirectDoc solution. Direct primary care offers healthcare as a service in a membership model, similar to the relationship people have with their gyms or cell phone providers: for a fixed fee, the doctor will cover all of a patient's wellness care.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is gaining momentum in the healthcare industry, and IT executives are expanding their use of these technologies, creating solutions to accommodate the growing demand for AI tools. Artificial intelligence is on its way to becoming the new standard for user interfaces in healthcare IT over the next few years; AI is undoubtedly the future of healthcare. Other industries, such as retail and finance, have seen significant advancements in artificial intelligence and predictive analytics. Healthcare has some catching up to do, some hospitals and health systems are leveraging information technology to their advantage, with an expected telehealth boom making its mark in the industry. As patients look to healthcare to ensure they receive quality customer care, such as that provided by retailers and banks, healthcare is making a transition to a patient outcomes-based model.
