Resumen Telemedicine has been present in various progressive forms since the invention of the telegraph, the telephone, and radio transmission in the late nineteenth century. In the 1920s, an article published in Science and Invention Magazine by Hugo Gernsback heralded telehealth.1 He described a device called a “teledactyl” that used radio communication that would allow doctors to see their patients through a viewscreen and touch them from miles away with spindly robot arms.1 The rapidly changing communications landscape of the early twentieth century brought about the connectivity of the general population and the progression of the use of these technologies for remote medical access and practice. In the 1950s, radiologic images were transmitted via telephone, and in the 1960s, interactive two-way television was used to send physical examinations and provide distanced health services. However, it was not until the interconnectivity of the general population via the Internet in the late twentieth century that telehealth came into more widespread usage. Internet-based technological growth enabled the full potential of telehealth to start to be realized.2 Although telemedicine was initially created as a way to treat patients in remote locations away from local health facilities or in areas with shortages of medical professionals, more recently it is increasingly used as a tool for convenient medical care and to limit patient contact, thus decreasing infectious disease risk.2,3 As such, telemedicine implementation and use rapidly accelerated during the recent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic when lockdown restrictions limited patient care to virtual visits.4 Rapid regulatory, legislative, and health insurance coverage changes ensued, which immediately expanded telemedicine services.5, 6, 7 Between mid-March and mid-October 2020, more than 24.5 million out of 63 million Medicare beneficiaries and enrollees received a Medicare telemedicine service.5
