Telehealth encompasses a broad variety of technologies and tactics to deliver virtual medical, health, and education services.

In multiple surveys, roughly four-in-five physicians have indicated they currently offer telehealth services and plan to continue doing so after the pandemic. However, while avoiding doctors’ offices during the pandemic helps reduce the risk of spreading Covid-19, telemedicine requires digital literacy and technology that is not available to all individuals with disabilities. Experts recommend a blended approach that combines virtual and in-person consultation.
