Cloud Services, 5G Key to Future of Remote Telehealth, Says Juniper

Cloud services and 5G connectivity are key to enabling local healthcare providers to benefit from remote teleconsultation technologies, reported Juniper Research Monday. The number of telehealth consultations performed globally is forecast to reach 422 million this year, 765 million in 2025, including interactions via healthcare portals, apps and consumer video calling platforms. For teleconsultation services to become an integral element of healthcare, platforms have to develop solutions that cater to differing capacities of regional healthcare sectors, Juniper said.
