Remote access, real impacts: Assessing telehealth attitudes and usage in Northwest Colorado

New report identifies benefits and concerns regarding telehealth, provides recommendations for improving perceptions 

DENVER, Aug. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The Office of eHealth Innovation (OeHI), located within the Office of the Lieutenant Governor, in partnership with Connected Nation (CN), just released a new telehealth report titled “Remote access, remote impacts: Assessing telehealth attitudes and usage in northwest Colorado.”

Telehealth is an important tool when it comes to ensuring Coloradans have access to the quality care they need.  

“Telehealth is an important tool in the toolbox when it comes to ensuring Coloradans have access to the reliable, quality care they need to be well,” said Colorado Lieutenant Governor and Director of the Office of Saving People Money on Health Care, Dianne Primavera. “As we continue our work to strengthen health care in our state, we are prioritizing understanding the specific needs of our rural communities. Through expanding access to integrative medical care through platforms such as telehealth, we can make sure rural Coloradans have the same opportunities to thrive.”

OeHI conducted a survey of 800 adults in rural Colorado households in the northwest part of the state—uncovering challenges these households face. The areas surveyed are Delta, Garfield, Mesa, Moffat, Montrose, Rio Blanco, and Routt counties.

“The surveys not only examined how rural Coloradans are using telehealth services but also looked at the barriers that prevent some households from using those services,” said Chris McGovern, Director, Research Development, CN. “The data gathered was used to develop four recommendations to help Coloradans understand the benefits of telehealth and overcome the challenges related to promoting telehealth access and usage.”

You can find the full report as well as online telehealth resources by heading to this webpage: https://bit.ly/COTelehealth.

Some key findings from the report include:

The most popular use of telehealth services is through telephone calls, followed by online chat and email with providers

More than 1 in 3 respondents (38%) use remote monitoring health services such as remote blood pressure monitoring

Most telehealth users agree that the services save time and money and are as good as in-person visits

Nearly 2 out of 3 telehealth users (64%) said telehealth prevented in-person visits to a doctor, saving an average 5.8 health care visits in the past year

Despite its benefits, 72% of non-telehealth users said that even if telehealth was available to them, they still wouldn’t use it

Some of the top concerns about using telehealth services include concerns about data privacy; fears that health issues may not be adequately addressed; and worries about the quality of care provided through telehealth

Recommendations provided in the report include:

Consumer awareness is needed about the quality and efficacy of telehealth services offered to patients.

Consumer awareness campaigns need to be developed to address the concerns of specific populations.

Any campaign to increase telehealth awareness and usage should be comprehensive and go beyond the health care industry.

TrendAI™ Adopts Claude Opus 5 to Advance Vulnerability Prioritization and Virtual Patching

As a participant in Anthropic’s Cyber Verification Program, TrendAI applies frontier reasoning to convert vulnerability intelligence into faster protection across hybrid environments

DALLAS, July 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — TrendAI™, the enterprise AI security leader from Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), today announced it is adopting Claude Opus 5, Anthropic’s latest and most capable Opus model, to help security teams convert vulnerability intelligence into immediate protection, from prioritization to virtual patching. The move builds on TrendAI’s collaboration with Anthropic on Claude Opus 4.8, extending the same defensive focus to a model that delivers step-change gains in advanced reasoning, agentic workflows, and long-horizon analysis. As AI makes finding vulnerabilities easier than ever, the harder problem becomes protecting organizations faster than software can be permanently patched, and that is where TrendAI is putting Opus 5 to work.

As a participant in Anthropic’s Cyber Verification Program, which credentials organizations for the defensive use of frontier AI models, TrendAI is positioned to apply Claude Opus 5 to defensive security as access becomes available. The model is Zero Data Retention compatible, supporting TrendAI’s governance and data-protection requirements as it scales AI across security operations.

The work extends to TrendAI Threat Research, where frontier AI models are combined with our proprietary frontier intelligence engine and human expertise to generate pre-disclosure intelligence. Those insights power TrendAI Vision One™, delivering stronger detection, deeper forensic insights, and proactive protection through virtual patching.

Rachel Jin, Chief Platform and Business Officer, Head of TrendAI™:
“With Claude Opus 5, TrendAI can move from vulnerability intelligence to action faster than ever, prioritizing what matters most by exploitability and business impact. Finding the vulnerability was always the hard part. Now the challenge is protecting organizations faster than software can be permanently patched, and frontier reasoning is what changes that equation, extending all the way to virtual patching that protects customers before a vendor fix ships. This is what it means to secure the AI age, fearlessly.”

These capabilities support TrendAI Vision One™ in helping security analysts, AppSec teams, and SOC teams prioritize exposure, map attack paths, and accelerate mitigation, including virtual patching, across hybrid environments, moving vulnerability management from a static scanning process into a faster, context-aware risk mitigation workflow.

About TrendAI™
TrendAI™, the global AI security leader and enterprise business unit of Trend Micro, empowers organizations with full AI visibility and consolidated security that inspires confidence, drives innovation, and eliminates risk. Trusted by the largest enterprises and governments across 185 countries, TrendAI™ secures the entire organization, from identities, to infrastructure, to data.

Through deep ecosystem partnerships with market leaders like NVIDIA, Anthropic, AWS, Google, and Microsoft, TrendAI™ empowers your organization to securely drive forward at the speed of AI.
