The COVID-19 pandemic has driven explosive growth for telehealth solutions. On the one

reduce disparity in healthcare. But on the other hand, telehealth may be less accessible to minority
populations such as people with cancer and cardiovascular diseases or rural patients.
Key words: telemedicine, eHealth, telehealth, telehealth services market, patient-centered healthcare,
healthcare inclusion, diversity, disparity, COVID-19.
