It isi going to be very successful until you are hit with a lawsuit for misdiagnosing a patient and not providing him/her with required unrgent medical care.

Although telemedicine, telehealth, virtual medicine, whatever you want to call it, has been around for decades for those in rural or remote areas, better connection speeds for consumers coupled with higher out-of-pocket (deductibles) means that virtual healthcare will start to become more ubiquitous, because of the lower cost and 24/7 access afforded by it. We are launching http://www.CareSimple.com in California and Washington after providing it white-labeled to big companies, because consumers are demanding a more convenient and cost-transparent alternative to an ER or urgent care visit. And we are obviously not alone.
