EHealth Market: Rapidly Evolving Industry…… COVID-19….
Global eHealth
market is expected to reach USD 308.0 billion by 2022, according to
a new report by Grand View Research Inc. The transition of the healthcare
industry into digital healthcare system for management and analysis of patient
health is expected to be the most vital driver of the market.
Increasing prevalence of chronic
diseases, and technological advancements in this field are few impact rendering
factors. Rising use of mobile technologies and internet along with increasing
adoption for home care by patients is expected to propel market growth over the
forecast period.
Furthermore, expanding scope of IT
companies pertaining to the development of real-time applications and software
catering to the healthcare industry is expected to drive demand over the
forecast period. Federal agencies such as the European Coordination Committee
of the Radiological, Electromedical and Healthcare IT Industry (COCIR), in
order to encourage and popularise eHealth, formulated various policies since
2007. One of these is the eHealth Action Plan, formulated in December 2012, which
includes 16 proposed actions to boost eHealth use, focused on increasing
research, innovation, interoperability and adoption.
The American Health Information
Community (AHIC) was chartered in the U.S. to make recommendations leading to
the likely development of eHealth to the Secretary of the U.S. Health
Department. Based on these recommendations, efforts are being made to increase
awareness levels for currently available mobile applications and wearable
remote monitoring devices.
The benefits encouraging higher demand
include round the clock care service, wider and faster access to patient
information, reduction of administrative and medical errors, self monitoring
and management by patients and centralization of entire healthcare industry
chain.

The diagnostics segment of
eHealth services market is expected to witness the fastest growth of above
15.0% over the next seven years owing to, the increasing number of patients
with at least one chronic condition and rising prevalence of infectious
diseases. According to the CDC, more than 50% population of the U.S. accounting
for about 117 million people suffer from at least one chronic condition
requiring routine monitoring.
·
The mHealth market is expected
to be the largest and the fastest growing accounting for a market share of over
24.0% by 2022. According to statistics published by the American Telemedicine
Association (ATA), the number of mHealth patents has increased multi-fold from
2000 to 2015 and over 44 million m-Health applications were downloaded in 2015
within North America.

North America is expected to
dominate the market throughout the forecast period with a revenue share of over
30% by 2022. Presence of technologically updated population base and various
current initiatives by the American Health Information Community (AHIC) are
expected to be the drivers of this growth.

Key players of the market
include IBM, McKinsey & Co., Motion Computing Inc., Epocrates Inc.,
Telecare Corp., Proteus Digital Health and Apple. In June 2014, Apple announced
the integration of HealthKit platform into the upcoming iPhone operating system
(iOS 8) which will provide a complete health overview of a person such as
weight, sleep patterns, heart rates measures, blood pressure and calorie
intake.
The
global eHealth market size was valued at USD 85.44 billion in 2014 and is
expected to increase at the rate of 15.8% over the forecast period. The eHealth
offers cost-effective healthcare delivery in both high and low-income
countries. As a result, World Health Organization (WHO) is promoting eHealth
and urging member states to form a strategic plan for deployment of digital
health services in the various domain of healthcare sector, acting as high
impact rendering driver for the growth of this industry.
As
a result of the sedentary lifestyle of people, the prevalence of lifestyle
associated disorders such as hypertension and diabetes is expected to witness
hike over the forecast period. These diseases demand round the clock monitoring
of various physiological parameters such as blood pressure and blood sugar
levels. These allows integration of healthcare data with portable devices and
further this can be forwarded to the physician which gives real-time access of
data and reduces errors, thereby boosting the demand of this industry.
Increasing
awareness amongst people about eHealth and rising acceptance level amongst
healthcare professionals coupled with evidence of the efficiency of using this
technology is anticipated to result in substantial growth for this industry.
However,
rising demand for the secure infrastructure of data privacy and growing
security concerns are expected inhibit the growth of these services over the
forecast period. In addition, lack of supporting infrastructure in developing
region with the high cost of health IT tools is expected to restrain the growth
of this industry.
