 Telemedicine has emerged as a promising approach to address healthcare disparities in rural and underserved communities. This research aims to investigate the socio-economic implications of telemedicine adoption, analyzing its impact on healthcare accessibility, affordability, and quality of care in such regions. The study will employ a mixed-methods approach, incorporating surveys, interviews, and data analysis, to assess the experiences of both patients and healthcare providers. It will explore factors influencing telemedicine adoption, including technological infrastructure, digital literacy, and cultural acceptance. The research will also investigate potential barriers, such as reimbursement policies and legal frameworks, affecting the equitable implementation of telemedicine services. Based on the findings, the study will propose policy interventions that promote equitable access to telemedicine, taking into account the unique needs and challenges of rural and underserved communities.
