The audio and video from telehealth visits isn’t recorded, let alone processed and analyzed. But new companies claim they can help with documenting & coding of virtual visits. And sentiment analysis may uncover useful data about patient and physician attitudes, satisfaction, and risk. Raj, Darryl and Sudipto join Nick to discuss this technology, and whether we’re likely to see it implemented in the future.
