It’s Not Just Convenient. Virtual Care is the Solution to Some of Healthcare’s Most Intractable Problems

Virtual care and telehealth in the United States today are like the blind men and the elephant. One consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic was the surge of acceptance of virtual care by both providers and patients. Investment flooded in, and new companies cropped up, many offering care or a remedy for a particular health problem or condition: weight loss, exercise diabetes management, depression, arthritis — you name it. It was exciting to see virtual care spring to life. But to the weight-loss app, all problems are weight loss, and to the diabetes virtual care solution, everything is about diabetes. At Teladoc Health, we are embracing and executing an integrated virtual care model with some remarkable outcomes. Currently, about 85 million people in the U.S., so almost 1 in 4 Americans, have access to at least one Teladoc health service through their employer or health insurance.
