Demand for telemedicine has exploded in the UK as doctors adapt to the coronavirus crisis

Family doctors in the U.K. have seen their day-to-day work routines radically altered by the coronavirus pandemic. Many are turning to online consultation services like AccuRx and eConsult to see patients who are stuck at home. AccuRx built a video chat tool in one weekend last month — it’s now being used in 35,000 consultations a day. It’s a radically different primary care model that physicians say won’t go away once the COVID-19 outbreak ends.
