Abstract

This commentary article discusses the recent trends and changes in popularity of telehealth usage as well as the most recent efforts to redefine telehealth value and usability. Six strategies to improve the patient experience and increase telehealth acceptance by overcoming simultaneous barriers are presented, which include (1) creating a new healthcare paradigm using telehealth, (2) scheduling the telehealth visit, (3) preparing for the telehealth visit, (4) conducting the telehealth visit, (5) using data and biomarkers, and (6) providing digital equity. With the application of these strategies, we believe that the recent decline in the popularity of telehealth can be reversed.
