Telemedicine will be commonplace, I don’t think that trend will reverse. My wife’s doing it. It’s very very VERY efficient. Having bodies late and milling about an office slows things down. Obviously some issues will require physical presence, but a shocking number do not.
38x more telehealth encounters than prepandemic…but now stabilizing…

I worked for a startup producing telemed software over two decades ago. Turns out the world was not ready for it at that time. Not just from a social perspective from a legal angle as well. Looks like the world is now ready!
If anything postive has come from this whole pandemic period, it is that it forced the business and government communities to rethink their positions on the workplace and what can be done remotely. And that is a great thing.
