Given the broad scope of opportunities present at the convergence of healthcare with information and communication technologies, even understanding the basics of telehealth can be a difficult task.

"The opportunities in telehealth applications are numerous, but so are the challenges, such as establishing high value propositions and sustainable business models," explained Frost & Sullivan Senior Industry Analyst Zachary Bujnoch. "Many companies must struggle from the start due to a lack of the expertise and perspective necessary to take full advantage of the many different aspects involved in each of these markets."

Partnerships and collaborations between companies are key components to success in many telehealth markets. The companies that thrive tend to stick to their core competencies and choose effective partnerships or alliances that fill in the gaps in technology or industry expertise.

"As an industry born out of convergence, telehealth is rich with partnerships and collaborative opportunities," stated Bujnoch. "When mutually beneficial situations are taken advantage of by industry participants, some of the most significant industry challenges are addressed and overcome, such as payment issues or the design of effective solutions for the elderly."
