The hectic schedules have made people out of time, and this thing has taken a toll on their health to an extent more than ever. The situation is exacerbated by the fact that people don’t have much time to seek medical aid for their well-being. This has given rise to a new way of appointments with doctors known as Telemedicine in which the consultation and medical prescription are done through a live digital platform facilitating the virtual meeting between a doctor and the person seeking clinical services.
Telemedicine has transformed the way people view the world of healthcare and its increasing popularity with more and more usage of the services has christened it as the ‘Future of Healthcare’. It has allowed patients to leverage IT and telecommunication facilities to seek clinical services from any doctor regardless of the distance. Also, people don’t want to waste time in the consultation room and go for immediate attention and this has increased the prominence and prevalence of telemedicine facilities in today's interconnected world.
As telemedicine has emerged as one of the most lucrative segments in India because of its power to make medical services accessible to any person in remote rural areas, it also has got the attention of several large investors. Many service providers have started to work for the segment but out of them, we present you the most promising telemedicine service provider list.

With time, practitioners and patients are used to getting these services and now the requirement of a personalized telemedicine application is more than ever. According to market analysts, 2019 was the crux in adopting modern technologies in medicine and the ASSOCHAM report states that the Indian Telemedicine Industry has been growing at an exponential rate of 20% over years and is estimated to cross the 32 million dollar mark by 2020. In a country like India where resources are limited and the majority of the population resides in the rural area where there is a lack of clinical services, Telemedicine has the brightest growth prospects and also the potential to bring about a change in the healthcare paradigm through the ease of virtual accessibility. This surpasses the geospatial constraints and the socio-economic contradictions which hindered the healthcare facilities hitherto.
