One such business that is witnessing a silent revolution is telemedicine. The COVID-19 outbreak has been an eye-opener for people and many focus on their health due to the fear of infection and the saturated healthcare systems.

The lack of medical infrastructure has resulted in a surge in the number of people seeking online medical consultations. With digital health startups that provide video consultations, people can keep a check on their health without compromising the social distancing and self-isolation norms.
