In early December, leading experts in digital health and telemedicine came together at the Digital Health Care Investors Summit hosted by Foley & Lardner LLP and Deloitte. The Summit explored innovations in digital health care technology that help promote continuity of care and increase patient access to health care services.

The program began by discussing Foley’s 2017 Telemedicine and Digital Health Survey, which analyzed responses from more than 100 senior executives at hospitals, specialty clinics, ancillary services and related provider organizations. The responses demonstrated that the recent investments in digital health care has led to major a major uptick in the number of people utilizing telemedicine. For example, in Foley’s 2014 Inaugural Survey, 87% of respondents did not anticipate using telemedicine. And yet, only three years later, 76% of respondents now offer or plan to offer telemedicine services. Similarly, more than 80% of respondents said telemedicine services are spurring an expansion of their digital health programs.
