Video API Usage During COVID-19
Telehealth services are now essential for medical providers — and our Video APIs are powering millions of interactions.
SCALING TO MEET GLOBAL DEMAND
Unsurprisingly, our data shows significant increases in our video APIs' use.
This reflects the dramatic, universal new need for virtual communications. As of April 4, we've seen changes of:- +650%: The increase in the total streamed video minutes across all industries, over the last last six months
- +114%: The increase in total video traffic in last 3 weeks of March vs. last 3 weeks of Feb
- +288%: The increase in healthcare Video API usage month-over-month
Flattening the curve
By helping patients, wherever they are, the risk of infection is minimized for everyone.
Our Video APIs are providing today’s telehealth leaders the ability to expand their diagnostic capabilities virtually. This frees up resources, reduces demand for personal protective equipment (PPE), and limits exposure for healthcare staff and patients.
HELPING IN THE REAL-WORLD
Our customer, Doxy.me, is a leading telehealth provider.

- 1.35 million patients were treated with telemedicine

"Telehealth is playing a key role in keeping doctors and patients safe and healthy during this crisis, and we predict that when we’re on the other side of this, it will become an accepted front-line medical practice."
