"There are many populations who, while aware [telemedicine] can be used for a 2 a.m. sinus infection, don't realize they can also use it to manage chronic diseases or similar conditions." — Chris Rovin

"Now we're in a situation where about 80 to 90 percent of the U.S. population has used telehealth services, and they don't want to go back." — Talib Omer
