Global Digital Health Market Forecast and Trends

Growth Drivers

Surging Adoption of Cloud Computing in Digital Health Prominent Market

One of the biggest trends recently witnessed in the digital healthcare market is the soaring adoption of cloud computing. Cloud computing in healthcare surges the efficiency of the industry while reducing costs. Cloud computing also makes medical record sharing more accessible and secure, automates back-end operations, and simplifies the development and maintenance of telehealth apps. Improving patient outcomes, increased efficiency, and cost control will continue to be the ultimate factors driving forces behind the healthcare industry's shift to the cloud.

Growing Usage of Tablets and Smartphones raising Digital Health Adoption Rate

Mobile devices and healthcare apps allow patients to become more active with their health care regimen. Digital healthcare applications enable patients to communicate more effectively with doctors and be more aware of their overall health. For example, patients nowadays are increasingly using their mobile devices like health trackers. Also, they are using their mobile devices for health management, checking symptoms, accessing medical helplines, and communicating with their healthcare provider.

Mobile devices also help doctors and nurses to keep accurate records of patients and their medicines. The errors caused by handwritten notes are minimized by digitized documents. Apps can be used to perform computerized drug tests, which has proven to be extremely beneficial to healthcare providers.

Restraints

Data breach and security-related concerns

Data breach and security issues are a major cause of concern among the customers that are likely to impede market growth over the forecast period. A medical data breach is a privacy violation involving health records. This could include either confidential health information from a patient's electronic health record or medical billing information from their health cover. The threats and costs of healthcare data breaches are much too high, putting millions of people's personal health data at risk. As a result, data protection is now the top concern in the global digital health industry.

Impact of COVID-19 in the industry

Restricted movement, along with self-isolation measures declared by the government of different countries to curb the spread of coronavirus is driving the expansion of the digital health industry. Since social distancing norms are making it difficult for people to visit healthcare centers, such restrictions, combined with the growing public awareness about the infection are fueling the popularity of digital health solutions. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has sparked a surge in demand for digital health among patients, doctors, and practitioners, and is opening up a slew of new opportunities, with social distancing being the only way to avoid exposure. The number of online consultations and video calls with doctors has increased as a result of COVID-19, thereby making it easier to comply with digital healthcare rules and regulations, which in turn is benefiting the digital health industry.
