Telemedicine services in Brazil are expanding through both public and private channels to increase healthcare accessibility.

In São José, the municipal ‘Tele Saúde’ service has reached a milestone of over 24,000 consultations since its launch in March. The digital platform provides 24/7 access to nursing guidance, medical evaluations, and prescription renewals, intended to reduce physical travel to health units and organize the flow of Basic Health Units.

In the private sector, new subscription-based models are emerging to target populations without conventional health insurance. Companies such as AssiMed have introduced tiered plans offering 24-hour video consultations and significant discounts on in-person exams and medications. Similarly, VoxCare is focusing on lower-income demographics with low-cost monthly plans that provide access to medical teleconsultations, psychological support, and nutritional guidance.
