The study showed that teleconsultations enabled nearly 100 patients take advantage of medical monitoring, which showed similar results to meeting face to face in the consulting room. According to a report from the American Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, the number of pregnant women addicted to opioids tripled in at least 28 states between 1999 and 2014.
