  • Telemedicine Apps: Live video conferencing or on-demand telemedicine involves real-time, two-way interactions between a patient and an HCP using audio-visual telecommunications technology as an alternative to emergency department visits, urgent care, and out-of-hours services. This is often used to treat common conditions, assist with triage decisions, and conduct mental or behavioral health sessions.
  • Digital Biomarkers: Digital biomarkers span a broad range of diagnostic and prognostic measurements across a range of disease areas, but are particularly relevant in mental health, neurological disorders, CVD, and diabetes, as well as sleep and respiratory conditions.
  • VR/AR Software: VR is an immersive experience that uses headsets to shut out the physical world and transport users into simulated environments. AR is less complex than VR and involves the addition of virtual information such as sound, video, or graphics to enhance the physical world using AR glasses, heads-up displays, smartphones, and tablets.
