Diversified choices of paths to see the doctor, now you do not have to go to the clinic can also see the doctor! COVID-19 epidemic is an important promoter of zero-contact telemedicine, telemedicine to break the limitations of the space between the patient and the doctor, so that the patient and the doctor do not need to be in the same field to carry out a disease examination, through the integration of telemedicine platforms (or online medical service systems) 5G telecommunications, ICT information and communication technology, video conferencing (instant messaging or video chat), remote monitoring, or AIOT Mobile medical devices, and AI/ML medical image reading empowerment and other aspects of technology, the remote medical behavior, online prescription opening, as well as dispensing and delivery of medication (medicine home delivery) and other three-part one-stop integration, so that the patient in the mobile phone to open a general account, enter the basic information, selected clinic or hospital outpatient hours to book an appointment, you can be online with the doctor direct dialogue, and for the doctor in the process of medical consultation Ask the doctor about the condition, diagnosis, diagnosis, open inspection and examination orders, consultation, open prescription (electronic prescription sign), as well as the original prescription adjustment or hygiene education and other medical behavior for the whole process seamless integration, in addition, in order to upgrade the video consultation with the doctor to improve the quality of the video diagnosis or treatment, combined with the AIOT mobile medical equipment, such as temperature, pulse oximetry, ultra-high resolution lenses, stethoscopes, electrocardiograms, handheld ultrasound or handheld ophthalmoscope, etc., AI/ML medical image reading and medical technology to empower the diagnosis and treatment process, instantly obtain the patient's vital signs data, and synchronized transmission to the remote medical staff or treating doctors, and then assess whether the diagnosis needs to be immediately evacuated to the hospital, or assisted in transferring to specialized treatment, or directly pharmacy delivery and collection of medication, all the process of diagnosis and treatment in the cloud, the diagnosis and treatment of the corner of the extension of the video doctor, to the remote medical (e.g., the patient). All consultation processes are completed in the cloud, extending the reach of consultation from video consultation to telemedicine, home healthcare, or the actual application and accessibility of smart healthcare.

根據Grand View Research 數據，2024年全球遠距醫療市場規模約1411.9 億美元，預估到2030 年可成長 2.69倍，達到 3803.3 億美元，年複合成長率為 17.55%。遠距醫療市場發展的機遇來自於5G和ICT技術的進步、AIOT行動醫療設備和AI/ML醫療影像判讀的創新，以及病患未滿足的遠距醫療需求，其優勢在於多元、省時、省錢、即時和零接觸，在病患端方面，患者可減少親自就診，無需增加面對面就診成本如交通或時間成本等，也可減少病人及家屬往返醫院與照顧負擔、降低住院期間交叉感染的風險，還可減少再入院和急診就診的次數，降低患者和醫療系統昂貴醫療支出，如幅員廣大的國家或缺乏醫療資源的山地、偏鄉農村和離島地區，更是一大福音，透過遠距醫療可解決民眾取得專科診療的困境; 在醫療院診所端，遠距和數位化醫療進行輕、重症分流，更有助於輕症輕病初級健康照護，醫療分流也可緩解醫院接診壓力，降低醫療營運負載，節省成本，成為醫療資源效率提高的解方。此外，高齡化人口趨勢下，高齡醫療需求和慢性病負擔持續增加，遠距醫療監測可讓行動不便的高齡者減少移動，也透過遠距監控達到慢性疾病預防或疾病早期診斷，可幫助心血管疾病、糖尿病和氣喘等患者進行慢性病健康管理，或為病患住院後返家康復，或受傷術後返家的傷口照護進行監測，讓病患在家就能夠遠端接受常規醫療服務。

視訊診療法上路，加速遠距診療商機落地，助攻台灣醫療科技產業持續升級
醫療照護零距離，遠距醫療被視為台灣醫療科技應用的新興藍海，潛藏巨大發展潛力。從法規觀點來看，台灣受惠於2024年7月1號通訊診察治療辦法正式施行，已開創醫療院診所遠距(視訊)診療正式落地的新篇章，除虛擬健保卡、電子處方箋、藥品交付、全民健康保險相關計畫，以及資安驗證標準公告等措施配套外，新法已擴大十大類病患適用如「慢性病照護計畫收案病人」、「疾病末期照護」、「矯正機關收容照護」、「行動不便照護」及「災害、傳染病或其他重大變故照護」等特殊情形病人的適用範圍、有條件放寬醫師以視訊看診方式開立處方箋、以及新增如醫療諮詢、會診、精神科心理治療，或開立檢查檢驗單等通訊醫療服務項目，讓遠距專科會診不再受限醫師法限制(備註: 醫師法規範醫師必須親自診察，才可施行治療、開給方劑或交付診斷書)，可真正落實專科醫師遠距視訊看診，幫助在宅且無醫師陪伴的患者進行診療，以及允許視訊看診的患者可自行到檢驗所抽血檢查，以省去就醫排隊等待的時間，而虛擬健保卡可串接遠距平台、電子處方箋、數位簽章、就醫識別碼及電子支付等配套，無縫接軌的數位化就醫流程，增加民眾遠距診療的便利性。
從產業觀點來看，遠距醫療是國際醫療產業重要的發展趨勢，台灣遠距醫療照護產業仍處於發展階段，法規、技術和商業模式正在形塑，且尚未形成如美國市場Teladoc遠距診療龍頭企業，台灣遠距醫療基礎建設正在持續整合優化中，目前台灣電信業者皆已推出各自的遠距診療平台，如遠傳推出5G遠距診療平台、台灣大哥大M+企業通訊解決方案，以及中華電信SynDr.遠距醫療平台，正逐步擴大遠距診療平台串接至各類醫療院所、診所的覆蓋率，診所或衛生所等基層醫療單位將成為佈局重點對象，將有助於改善基層醫療單位數位化程度的差異，而法規落地也將加速診所雲端虛擬轉型，以及帶動遠距醫療解決方案系統整合商，與各類穿戴式健康裝置、遠距監控設備，或AIOT行動醫療裝置開發商，加速遠距診療設備的整合型服務，其商機包括台灣山地、偏鄉和離島遠距看診、台商遠距看診拿藥(自費醫療)、國人海外旅遊或求學(自費醫療)，以及未來蠢蠢欲動的新疫情高峰避免群聚的需求，且隨著健保給付或新制度誘因等配套，以及遠距醫療照護系統在建置覆蓋率和完善度越來越佳的發展趨勢下，最終將由市場機制驗證台灣遠距醫療照護的實際使用人口占比、使用率和醫療成本效益，若能成功打造遠距醫療商業示範，未來將有望輸出台灣優質醫療服務和醫療科技，搶攻海外醫療商機指日可待。
