How Stakeholders are Preparing for a New Era in Digital Healthcare

Digital healthcare leaders who spoke with mHealthIntelligence at last month’s annual ATA Nexus conference agreed that the pandemic-era virtual care landscape is rapidly giving way to a new era — one that will require digital health companies to stay alert and agile.The rise and subsequent decline in telehealth has been well-documented. According to data from Trilliant Health, telehealth visit volume dropped from 76.6 million visits in the second quarter (Q2) of 2020 to 41.5 million visits in the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2022, representing a 45.8 percent decline. Alongside this drop, digital healthcare funding has taken a nosedive from a record-high of $29.2 billion in 2021 to $2.7 billion in the first quarter (Q1) of 2024.
