Smartphones facilitate telehealth and telemedicine by offering convenient access to healthcare services remotely, supporting real-time consultations, health monitoring, and medical advice. This significantly enhances the accessibility and convenience of healthcare, especially for individuals in remote locations or those with mobility challenges.

Additionally, approximately 80% of mobile internet users were utilizing 4G or 5G smartphones, marking an increase of 330 million users from 2022 to 2023. Consequently, the rising smartphone penetration is contributing significantly to the growth of the telehealth and telemedicine market.
