Remote healthcare is booming due to tech and demand, especially in underserved areas. Virtual consultations and digital monitoring are increasingly common. This rapid growth sparks data privacy concerns. Sensitive medical data faces risks from breaches and cyberattacks. Experts advocate for stricter regulations and robust security. Questions arise about the quality of remote care and potential misdiagnosis. While offering access and convenience, remote healthcare needs safeguards to ensure safety and effectiveness. Telehealth’s progress needs to be supported by quality checks and data privacy solutions to ensure the sustainability of the industry for patients. Digital health security breaches can lead to massive financial impacts and erosion of trust that take considerable time to recover from, so security should be a first class design requirement. Governments and large health organizations should partner together to push standards and improve solutions.
