Abstract
During the COVID-19 pandemic, telemedicine and telehealth saw a groundswell of growth, only to be shackled in the aftermath of the Public Health Emergency. A Think Tank, funded by Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, was held at Michigan State University in August 2024. This paper serves as an introduction to a series of articles focusing on the evolution and future of telehealth in a postpandemic world. It highlights key themes including patient equity, technology, clinical opportunities, research, and education, using Michigan as a model for national adaptation. The paper aims to ignite further discussion and innovation within the telehealth community.

They offer indispensable tools for home healthcare, remote patient monitoring, and disease management, not only for rural health and battlefield care, but also for nursing home, assisted living facilities, and maritime and aviation settings.
Telemedicine and e-Health offers timely coverage of the advances in technology that offer practitioners, medical centers, and hospitals new and innovative options for managing patient care, electronic records, and medical billing.
