This report was authored by Jennifer Kent of Parks Associates and published in January 2022. The growth in the use of telehealth services by customers has accelerated from about 15% in 2019 to 60% in 2021 as a result of the pandemic. This growth was driven by changes in reimbursement, regulations, funding, staffing shortages, device innovation, and customer demand.  Telehealth encompasses virtual visits, remote diagnostics, chronic condition management, post-discharge monitoring, and hospital at home. Remote care can be enhanced with remote diagnostic tools.  Issues with such technologies are presented.  Sensors for passive monitoring are discussed.
