In 2025, telehealth has become a standard mode of delivering healthcare services across the United States. What started as a necessity during the COVID-19 pandemic has now evolved into a mainstream solution that enhances access, convenience, and continuity of care.
Virtual care has expanded beyond primary care visits. Specialists, behavioral health professionals, and even physical therapists are using video consultations and remote patient monitoring to treat and manage patients effectively. Platforms integrated with EHRs now enable clinicians to monitor chronic conditions like hypertension, diabetes, and COPD in real-time, using wearable devices that transmit health data securely.
The benefits are twofold patients enjoy timely interventions and fewer hospitalizations, while providers reduce costs and increase engagement. However, challenges around reimbursement parity, licensure across state lines, and HIPAA compliance remain prevalent.
