Telehealth And The Digital Economy

If 2020 has taught us anything - and the lessons abound - it's this: We need to take a more proactive approach to maintaining our personal health and the country is being driven by the digital economy. The growing acceptance of medical practices using telehealth to treat patients and new companies such as Prefusion Health commingling state-of-art technology with professional healthcare services serves as a perfect example of how the latter empowers us to embrace the former.

The Health Resources Services Administration defines telehealth as the use of electronic information and telecommunications technologies to support long-distance clinical health care, patient and professional health-related education, public health and health administration. Prefusion says its mission is to help its client base create the healthiest version of themselves through planning and treatment. It collects relevant data and forms a “personalized health prescription” to ensure maximum health and fitness for the patient.

All digital-driven advancements in how we conduct our business require secure, superior Internet connectivity. As a result, companies must give greater consideration to their Internet situation. Are they getting the greatest amount of value from their provider? Does the level of service provided by their ISP reflect the amount of money spent on said service? Or are they treated with indifference or disdain?

If the latter is the case, there’s an easy fix. 1025Connect (see 1025Connect.com) is Long Island’s premier network interconnection and colocation facility.
