Telehealth involves delivering health-related services and information through electronic communication and telecommunication technologies.

Impact of COVID-19:
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the global economy and population. During the pandemic, the telehealth market experienced substantial growth due to travel restrictions and reduced in-person interactions in healthcare settings. The emphasis on social distancing and isolation has increased the demand for telehealth services and applications. Telehealth offers benefits such as reduced use of personal protective equipment and increased efficiency in routine care, contributing to its growing adoption and market growth.
However, the surge in telehealth usage during the pandemic led to technical challenges for some companies, including IT crashes and data management issues. Despite these challenges, there is an opportunity for companies to address and resolve these issues, potentially gaining prominence in the global market.
