The Peterson Health Technology Institute (PHTI) has launched an independent evaluation of virtual care solutions for gastrointestinal (GI) conditions—aiming to assess their clinical effectiveness and economic value. With over 60 million Americans affected by GI issues and $136 billion spent annually, the stakes are high. These digital tools—offering remote monitoring, behavioral support, and integrated specialty care—may hold the key to reducing avoidable ER visits and unnecessary procedures. Will virtual GI care become a scalable alternative to traditional models?
