Meeting the demand of patients and the avalanche of tests and vaccines against COVID-19 from anywhere in the country are some of the most important challenges that healthcare providers face today. The promise to provide assistance and solutions to every corner during one of the greatest crises experienced by humanity in recent history has required the reinvention of medical care, driven by the need to remain connected to the main hospital or office.
The pandemic has accelerated digital health initiatives. For example, telemedicine, which has been on the verge of being rolled out for the past five years, is now offered in an integral way. Additionally, digital technologies have played a key role in communicating COVID-19 test results and assisting in contact tracing.
