ABSTRACT. Despite the relevance of remote treatment of patients during the COVID-19 pandemic, only limited research has been conducted on this topic. Using and replicating data from Accenture, Deloitte, GlobalWebIndex, and McKinsey, I performed analyses and made estimates regarding the relationship between digital technologies, smart telemedicine diagnosis systems, and virtual care. The results of a study based on data collected from 4,800 respondents provide support for my research model. Using the structural equation modeling, I gathered and analyzed data through a self-administrated questionnaire.
