href=\"https:\/\/www.harmonyhit.com\/survey-americans-plan-to-use-telehealth-after-covid-19\/\">Harmony Health IT survey<\/a>,<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>67% of Americans used telehealth since COVID-19 at least once, up from 46% prior to COVID-19.<\/li>\n<li>71% of Americans are fearful to visit a doctor\u2019s office due to COVID-19.<\/li>\n<li>However, once they have experienced telehealth, 72% said they enjoyed the experience, mainly for the telehealth\u2019s convenience, safety and flexibility.<\/li>\n<li>More than half admitted they experienced shorter wait time, compared to the in-person visits.<\/li>\n<li>69% said they will less likely use ER or urgent care for non-life-threatening visits if telehealth becomes more common.<\/li>\n<li>60% stated they will continue use telehealth after COVID-19.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At the same time,<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>55% said they would still prefer an in-person visit.<\/li>\n<li>43% have concerns over privacy and security when using telehealth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">What does telehealth mean for most people?\u00a0 Let\u2019s face it.\u00a0 Most physicians who claim they provide telehealth services are the same doctors.\u00a0 They are just doctors on the phone now.\u00a0 Many are not even available for a video call.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Let me talk about our vision of <strong>Telehealth 2.0<\/strong>.\u00a0 A patient gets the most secure connection with her\/his doctor, in case the patient needs to quickly scan and send a bloodwork report or a photo of a skin rash.\u00a0 All patient data are HIPAA compliant and beyond \u2013 e.g. blockchain technology keeps records safe and hacker proof.\u00a0 The waiting room is just a few seconds.\u00a0 There are no nurses or doctor assistants asking questions.\u00a0 All necessary questions, optimized by artificial intelligence for importance and time saving, are asked by a digital assistant \u2013 i.e. Alexa for Health.\u00a0 Only board-certified physicians are talking to the patient.\u00a0 These doctors are specifically trained on AI-based medical systems.\u00a0 When the teledoctor picks up the phone, she\/he doesn\u2019t ask unnecessary questions because all questions have already been asked by the Alexa for Health.\u00a0 The teledoctor already has the conversation transcript and knows what to do by the time the patient says the first word.\u00a0 Moreover, by the time of that call with the patient, the teledoctor has all relevant up-to-date medical research, with quotes and citations to academic papers, at her\/his fingertips.\u00a0 All real time.\u00a0 All through a super secure connection.\u00a0 In most cases the teledoctor just has to write a prescription for a drug or a test.\u00a0 Time is of an essence!\u00a0 Telehealth 2.0 creates much more evidence based relevant information for much less time spent with the patient.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Telehealth 2.0 does exist today.\u00a0 It is offered by WellAI.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The WellAI app called
