In the post pandemic world, as consumer/patient adoption for digital health access exponential continues to grow—Health systems, Insurers, and clinicians all need re-evaluate strategies create larger budgets, and commitments towards Digital health. The growth and rapid adoption seen during the early months of the pandemic was stimulated by removal of legislative, financial and reimbursement barriers. Healthcare systems must carefully and strategically evaluate secure, purpose built, and strategic technological investment.
