Explanation:

The ePatient movement focuses on patient empowerment through digital health tools. During COVID-19, in-person care was restricted, driving adoption of remote health solutions:

1. Healthcare systems and governments invested more in digital health to adapt to remote care needs.
2. Video conferencing and telehealth visits surged as alternatives to in-person appointments.
3. Remote monitoring devices allowed providers to track patients without in-person contact, so their use rose.
4. Access to personal medical records (digital) was expanded to support remote care, not decreased.
