Patients and healthcare providers are seeking alternative solutions, such as telehealth, to provide and receive care in a safe manner. 

As we continue adhering to the shelter-in-place recommendations for the foreseeable future, the need for non-emergency medical care continues to grow. 

A recent search into Google Trends provides evidence that the demand for telehealth services is skyrocketing, especially in recent weeks.

Below, you will find the trends reports showing just how much these searches have increased. For those unfamiliar with the key metric on these charts, “Interest over time,” here is how Google defines the term:

Interest over time
Numbers represent search interest relative to the highest point on the chart for the given region and time. A value of 100 is the peak popularity for the term. A value of 50 means that the term is half as popular. A score of 0 means there was not enough data for this term.

The rise of telehealth services presents a significant opportunity for patients and providers as many consultations can take place on a virtual platform. For those fields where consultations require instruments or a more hands-on approach, telehealth is still a great option as patients can discuss their concerns with their doctor in real-time.

Additionally, offering telehealth services can help to lower hospital traffic as patients will feel their needs could be met in a virtual appointment with their regular doctor.

Venator Performance Marketing in conjunction with XAmplifier is helping healthcare providers stay connected with their patients during this difficult time and in the future using telehealth services.
