Market Relevance

The advent of telepsychiatry has been seen as a structurally important solution to the imbalance between the prevalence of mental health conditions and their treatments globally. According to the Global Burden of Disease data from the World Health Organization, 13% of the disease burden worldwide comes from mental, neurological and substance use disorders, whereas treatment gaps have suggested that 76 to 85% of individuals with serious mental health disorders in developing countries do not get any treatment.

Telepsychiatry Market Overview

The market consists of telepsychiatry solutions in the forms of routine and crisis services offered through videoconferencing and online messaging platforms. The routine services consisting of psychiatric assessments, psychiatric medicine administration, and psychotherapy plan to provide the largest income stream since they consist of repeated appointments forming the backbone of the telepsychiatry business model, whereas crisis services are gaining momentum due to the greater success of digital intervention platforms over emergency department intervention platforms. Videoconferencing serves as the primary means of delivering these services because of its similarity to face-to-face care, while online messaging is gaining popularity as an alternative portal service for mild-to-moderate cases.

Strategic Market Outlook

Growing opportunities include the incorporating telepsychiatry into the model of collaborative care whereby telepsychiatrists collaborate with general practitioners in patient assessments and treatment planning, making telepsychiatry available throughout federally qualified health centers, rural areas, and general practice networks.
