Cisco Systems is a California-based company that designs, manufactures, and sells networking products, software, and telecommunications equipment. Cisco is ranked second on our list with 583 installations and has a market share of 12.07%.
Amwell telemedicine is ranked third with 572 installs and a market share of 11.84%. Unlike the first two vendors on our list, Amwell offers telehealth solutions specialized for a wide range of care settings.

Most hospitals have a telehealth solution in place
According to data from Definitive Healthcare’s HospitalView product, 65.53% of hospitals have a telemedicine solution installed. That still leaves over a third of hospitals without a telehealth vendor in place, representing a significant opportunity for telehealth software companies to increase market penetration and expand their market share.
How does telehealth work?
Telehealth, also referred to as telemedicine, is the modernization of the delivery of healthcare via remote clinical services. Telehealth technology has existed since the 1950s but has been making huge strides in the past decade or so due to the rapid technological advancements in areas like video software and communication.
Telehealth technology presents an opportunity for patients and providers to leverage technology to communicate without being in the same room. Types of telemedicine tools include phone calls, video chats, emails, and text messages.
