Telehealth technology products are defined as: Software, apps, connectivity tools, and integrated systems for: Telepsychiatry, telehealth, telepharmacy, and telerehabilitation. With continued development of technology and stable, accessible internet and phone connection services, the ability to reach rural and non-mobile consumers has never been easier. In response to this, many providers are putting telehealth service lines and centers into action in order to lower costs in areas such as transportation and readmission.
