TEXT III
Telehealth Is The Future But May Also Be
Healthcare Security’s Achilles' Heel

Everything changed overnight for telehealth at the onset of Covid-19. We went from a small footprint to telehealth becoming one of the most common ways Americans access care. According to the Department of Health and Human Services, nearly half of Medicare primary care visits were telehealth visits in April 2020, compared to 0.1% in February. Waiting weeks to months for a 15-minute physician exam is no longer acceptable for many when you can just set up a quick telehealth conference.

Comentário do professor
O título sugere uma tensão entre avanço e risco: a telemedicina é apontada como o futuro, mas ao mesmo tempo pode revelar uma fragilidade no sistema de saúde.
Palavra como may indica possibilidade, não certeza, e a expressão Achilles' Heel é metafórica para um ponto vulnerável. Assim, o leitor espera que o texto trate de como um benefício emergente traz consigo riscos.
O corpo do texto confirma essa expectativa ao mencionar episódios de ransomware e invasões por hackers, mostrando que a expansão da telehealth cria novos pontos de entrada para ataques.
Portanto, o título anuncia que o tema central será a potencial vulnerabilidade do sistema diante do aumento de serviços remotos.
