Telemedicine Hype Cycle and the Future of Remote Care

June 30, 2020 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: 3 minutes

A recent STATNews First Opinion piece suggested that we’re seeing the abandonment of telemedicine by physicians after a strong start in 2020. Data from Phreesia shows early adoption in March 2020 with a fall off in May - This pattern reflects the earliest phases of the telemedicine hype cycle.  Distracted and disillusioned maybe.

Can We be More Human?

June 24, 2020 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minutes

Telemedicine Fatigue and the Stress of Remote Care

April 24, 2020 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: 2 minutes

After 8 hours of back-to-back virtual engagement with parents I found myself with a kind of telemedicine fatigue that’s hard to describe. Then I started hearing the same sentiment from doctors on ...

Consumer Electronics Show as a Reflection of our Misery

January 30, 2020 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minutes

Like the gadgetry showcased at the Consumer Electronics Show, there’s stuff we don’t need but we’re told we can’t live without.  But this look at the Consumer Electronics Show in ...
