All societies around the world have experienced substantial changes since the onset of COVID-19 with lifestyles displaced and corporate cultures newly embracing a work-from-home concept with the help of the Internet of Things (IoT) and highly evolved, online connectivity tools. A decentralized workplace is becoming more common than the centralized (work in the office) norm, including the trend towards people managing their health. Although idealism behind home-based or distance-care constructs have been around for some time, the growing attention they are receiving is primarily due to the focus on decreasing operating costs, as opposed to supporting patient-driven requests. Due to medical practices impacted by the pandemic, out-of-hospital consultation and remote diagnostics have taken center stage in an attempt to mitigate risk from viral transmission and lessen hospital burdens. This has also increased the importance of a multi-advantageous workflow that encompasses less clinical overhead, higher efficiencies, faster transactions and greater convenience for all parties.
