THOMSON X (TX), the digital arm of mainboard-listed Thomson Medical Group (TMG), is hopping on the telemedicine bandwagon through a joint venture (JV) with telehealth provider WhiteCoat.

The purpose of this move, however, is not to make a quick buck, but to capture a sustainable area of growth and provide better value for the group's consumer base, said TX's chief executive officer-designate Lim Wee Kiat in a recent interview with The Business Times.
