Pune, Maharashtra, India:  In a country of 1.37 billion individuals with an insufficient doctor-to-population ratio and unequal distribution of medical services, telehealth has a major role to play. Reports show that telehealth has expanded in India in the recent past, however the low-quality of internet connectivity across geographical locations, still remains a barrier to the flourishing of telehealth in India. Once internet penetration improves, India can take full advantage of telehealth solutions based on the internet of things.

Telehealth refers to the distribution of health services via telecommunication technologies. Telemedicine, is a subset and a distinct area of telehealth. Telemedicine in simple terms means the process of online doctor consultation. It refers to remote evaluation, diagnosis and treatment using telecommunications technology like a call, chat, video or an e-consultation service.
