Abstract: Teleconsultations by Healthcare Professionals (HCPs) became an important mode of healthcare delivery during COVID 19 pandemic.

Sentiment analysis showed 42 % positive insights, 26 % neutral responses and 32 % negative responses stating that telemedicine has limited scope and is difficult to use due to factors such as difficulty in diagnosis, examination etc. Addressing these issues can indeed make telemedicine the mode for future.
