During the COVID-19 pandemic, telemedicine helps prevent hospital overcrowding by managing the high demand in emergency departments and primary care clinics. It also reduces the need for in-person visits for patients with chronic diseases, thereby decreasing their exposure to COVID-19. Furthermore, telemedicine improves access to COVID-19 treatment for individuals living in resource-poor areas.
