These startups provide a variety of services, including electronic medical records, telemedicine, medical devices, access to information, marketplaces and AI\/Big Data.

The article included the example of the telemedicine startup Conexa, which reported to <em>Exame<\/em> that it went from treating 50 patients a day before the crisis to 15,000 per day. <em>Exame<\/em> indicates that the Brazilian user population for telemedicine increased from 150,000 in January 2020 to 3.5 million, though it does not cite a specific source for this data. <em>Exame<\/em> also states that, according to data it has compiled (though it does not specify the data sources or methodology), at least 1.7 million telemedicine consultations have been performed in Brazil this year.\u00a0 Without direct sources and methodological information, we should be cautious in weighing these figures. On the other hand, the devastation wrought by COVID-19 thus far in Brazil (6.4 million cases and 174,515 deaths as of December 3, 2020) would suggest that telemedicine should definitely expand in 2021 as the country struggles to control the pandemic as best as it can. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#5 Renal Dialysis Equipment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p> According to Data M Intelligence, the renal dialysis market in <a href=\"https:\/\/globalhealthintelligence.com\/es\/ghi-analysis\/30-key-health-facts-about-brazil\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Brazil (opens in a new tab)\">Brazil<\/a> is expected to grow with a CAGR of 5.8% between 2020 and 2027.
