Video telemedicine is a core market in the telehealth industry with many established revenue models and emerging applications. However, the value that video can provide to remote healthcare often is misunderstood. This study outlines existing revenue streams for videoconferencing in telehealth and telemedicine, presents complex competitive ecosystems, and forecasts the future of the market. In-depth analysis of videoconferencing endpoints, which continue to drive growth, also is included. Other revenue-producing segments in the forecast include: carts, telemedicine-specific software, infrastructure services, and video telemedicine services. The base year is 2011, and a forecast is provided through 2016.
