Doctors and patients are calling for more telehealth. Where is it?

technologyreview.com Isabel Ruehl 2025-06-21 03:00:00

This has led to what Ateev Mehrotra, a physician and professor of health policy at the Brown University School of Public Health, calls an “inane” norm: A woman with a rare cancer boarding an airplane, at the risk of her chemotherapy-weakened immu
