Sending data between locations is commonplace today, but at the time, it was a major advance to be able to access a doctor's expertise in another city. Early in the 1970s, healthcare providers began implementing technology that allowed a doctor and patient to consult with a specialist using video conferenc-ing equipment while they were both present. It was expensive and challenging to put up this equipment. Additionally, using it required special training. Therefore, while using this strategy did help people gain access to specialised treatment, going to the doctor's office still needed to be done.All of that has altered with the introduction of the internet and the mobile revolution. With the advent of simple-to-use PC and mo-bile applications, patients can now consult with their doctor from any location. Patients can now access primary, urgent, and specialty treatment without having to make an in-person appointment thanks to this. Healthcare options available only online offer 24/7 on-demand care. Another potential for remote patient monitoring is provided by wearable technology, which enables doctors to assess a patient's vital signs in real time.India had a doctor to population ratio of 1:6, 300 in 1953, which meant that there were 6,300 non-doctors for every doctor, or, to put it another way, 6,300 prospective patients. The World Health Organiza-tion has a recommended doctor population of 1:1, 000. Thankfully, while the number of Indians has trebled since 1953, the number of doctors in India has multiplied 17 times, and India today has a healthy doctor-population ratio of 1:921. Telemedicine is clearly the way out. Therefore, we at si Health-care have put together a list of 10 Most Promising Telemedicine Companies 2022. We hope our list of vendors bring both, the people and facilitators together.
