Are you an investor or venture capitalist looking for an opportunity in the healthcare field with a high return on investment (ROI)? Now is the time to make your move in the emerging field of telemedicine, with eOccMed.com.
As the U.S. workforce continues to expand and the worldwide doctor shortage worsens, the demand for telemedicine services is growing exponentially. Due in part to distribution imbalances between urban and rural areas, the estimated shortage of primary care physicians is currently 45,000, and is expected to reach 90,000 by 2025, including specialists (American Association of Medical Colleges). At the same time, the number people with health insurance coverage has exploded, thanks to the Affordable Care Act (U.S. Dept. of Health & Human Services).
Correspondingly, investment in telemedicine technology and services has been booming.
According to Forbes Magazine (August 9, 2015), “the [annual] number of virtual video consultations between primary health care providers and their patients in the U.S. will double in five years [from 2 million to 5.4 million] … [jumping] overall to nearly 27 million [in that time period].”
In September 2014, Transparency Market Research reported that “the global telemedicine market was valued at USD 14.3 billion in 2013 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 14.3% in the forecast period from 2014 to 2020, to reach an estimated value of USD 36.3 billion in 2020.” Another report by Mordor Intelligence projects that the global telemedicine market will exceed $34 billion, with North America accounting for more than 40 percent.
All of the above data provides compelling evidence of market confidence that telemedicine technology is here to stay and:
- Provides a strong, permanent solution to the healthcare access issue
- Meets an important ongoing need, especially in remote regions
- Saves money and increases business productivity
- Will continue to grow to bridge the gap between medical providers and patients
- Is becoming increasingly accepted by employees, employers, insurance carriers and medical providers
- Offers a potentially significant return on investment
