Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected our nation and economy gravely, which has led to exploiting ways of setting norms for the effective distribution of healthcare advancements beyond geographical boundaries. In this paper, we propose an approach for the rapid advancement and effective distribution of healthcare in India through the enormous potential in telemedicine and haptic technology. We further address the issues in India's current healthcare infrastructure occurring due to non-availability and vacancy of doctors, social development, such as the willingness of people to invest in telemedicine by statistically analyzing bar diagrams, tabulated data, and self-assembled visual graphics. Our study shows that the potential of technology-aided approaches such as telemedicine and haptic systems in healthcare is enormous, and through effective dissemination of awareness, training, and stakeholder involvement, telemedicine and haptics could change the norms in the advancement in the healthcare system of India
