We outline the market outlook for virtual care in the healthcare industry — from investment trends, to leading companies, to recommendations for the players in the space.

Virtual care tools include synchronous telehealth and asynchronous and automated solutions, such as chatbot symptom checkers and digital therapeutics.

Asynchronous virtual care tools can drive more engagement, have a greater impact on long-term health, and relieve more pressure from providers than synchronous solutions, such as telehealth.
