During the COVID-19 emergency in Italy many patients in need of care and consulting could not access health services the way they used to in the past. For this reason, the interest for telemedicine use to treat patients increased among physicians. According to a survey conducted in June 2020 in Italy, the specialist physicians interviewed estimated that 24 percent of examinations that involve chronic patients could be carried out through digital tools, without the need to be in presence. The share for other non-chronic patients was slightly lower (18 percent).
