This overwhelming demand puts a lot of pressure on already strained healthcare services and contrives to bring out the inefficiencies that travel deep within them, calling for new solutions. At the same time, strict lockdowns, with mandatory social distancing significantly decreased the opportunities of more conventional, face-to face medical consultations thus many patients remained unserved or underserved. To these challenges, telemedicine emerged quickly as a preferable option to practice healthcare away from the traditional centralized healthcare facilities. Telemedicine lets the patients talk to the doctors, get a diagnosis, or even get prescribed medication all from the safety of their own home. Moreover, incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) in telemedicine greatly enhanced this solution to an enhanced level of technological advancement.
