Remote monitoring of patients is a primary application of
telemedicine. Use of affective competing through smart devices such as smart
wearables in telemedicine enables a more cost-effective and rapid means of
assessing current state and need for medication for a patient at a distance. In
addition, telemedicine providers focusing on specialized areas, including
telepsychiatry, can particularly gain from affective computing, which enables
psychiatrists/psychologists to comprehend feelings and emotional states of
their patients even though the patient is physically not present or are
unable to describe their emotions to a
psychologist.
Key players in the market include Microsoft Corporation,
Affectiva, Google LLC, Elliptic Laboratories A/S, Apple Inc., Cognitec Systems
GmbH, Sony Depthsensing Solutions, International Business Machine Corporation,
Qualcomm Technologies Inc., and Cipia Vision Ltd.
