Telemedicine company Doctor on Demand has merged with healthcare company Grand Rounds to create an integrated virtual care company.

The use of telemedicine has surged as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. In the last week of March 2020 alone, there was a 154% increase in telehealth visits, compared with the same period in 2019, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Seventy-two percent of employers offer a telemedicine benefit, according to the Society for Human Resource Management.
