ABSTRACT. The aim of this paper is to synthesize and analyze existing evidence on Internet of Things-enabled smart devices, healthcare body sensor networks, and online patient engagement in COVID-19 prevention, screening, and treatment. Using and replicating data from Accenture, Amwell, CBRE, Colorado Health Institute, Deloitte, eMarketer, Ginger, PwC, SSCG Media Group, and Sykes, I performed analyses and made estimates regarding how telehealth is instrumental in flattening the COVID-19 infection curve. Descriptive statistics of compiled data from the completed surveys were calculated when appropriate.
