Future Trends

Adoption of Internet of Medical Things (IoMT)

Connected devices are shaping the modern world, opening up space for greater mobility and agility, increasing efficiency and productivity, and allowing to receive and process various types of data for valuable insights. A survey conducted in 2020 by the Pew Research Center states that 21% of Americans (about 70 million people) claim to have embraced wearable tech. Hence, IoT trend eventually has paved its way to healthcare where it is known as IoMT (Internet of Medical Things).

Gradually, mhealth apps and IoMT devices like wearables are going hand in hand, providing meaningful grounds for each other. For instance, Apple watches, when introduced in 2015, were mainly used for fitness tracking, while today, Apple’s “Movement Disorder API” allows monitoring symptoms and gathering new insights into Parkinson’s disease. Nearly all IoMT devices require integration with an mhealth app, and the latter provides the app with useful data that ensures better health management.

Segmental Analysis:

Based on service, the mhealth market is segmented into remote monitoring services, diagnosis services, treatment services, health support services, fitness & wellness services. The remote monitoring services segment held a larger share of the mhealth market in 2022 and knockout the others segment accounting least market share. The digital age, with digital sensors, the Internet of Things (IoT), and big data tools, has opened new opportunities for improving the delivery of health care services, with remote monitoring systems playing a crucial role and improving access to patients. The versatility of these systems has been demonstrated during the current COVID-19 pandemic. Health remote monitoring systems (HRMS) present various advantages such as the reduction in patient load at hospitals and health centers. Patients that would most benefit from HRMS are those with chronic diseases, older adults, and patients that experience less severe symptoms recovering from SARS-CoV-2 viral infection.

Based on devices, the mhealth market is segmented as insulin pump, bp monitor, glucose monitor, personal pulse oximeter, and others. The insulin pump segment is anticipated to hold the largest share of the market in 2022. Moreover, the same segment is estimated to register the highest CAGR of 28.8% during the forecast period. Diabetes is a metabolic disorder that refers to the condition created by the body's inability to regulate glucose levels. It has been labelled the 'silent epidemic' for its insidious and chronic nature. The medical profession has postulated that patients could benefit from a system providing continuous glucose readings. Worldwide, the number of people with diabetes is increasing and about 90% of patients have type 2 diabetes mellitus; about one fifth of people with type 2 diabetes are on insulin treatment. The global burden of type 2 diabetes has prompted increasing efforts to develop mobile technologies for self-monitoring of blood glucose among patients with diabetes. A wide variety of home glucometers are available that are portable, inexpensive, reliable and sensitive, and which use smaller amounts of blood than in the past.

Regional Analysis:

Based on geography, the mhealth market is divided into five key regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South & Central America, and Middle East & Africa. In 2022, North America held the largest share of the mhealth market, and Asia Pacific is estimated to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The North America mHealth market has been segmented into the US, Canada, and Mexico. All the three countries in the region are witnessing a sequential change in the mHealth market. North America has largest market share of the mHealth market, by geography.

The increasing aging populations and rising health care costs helps to grow the demand for mHealth services in the region. In particular, the US provides strong examples of technological developments and emerging opportunities in the market. Most of the mHealth apps in the US are regulated by FDA, that perform patient specific analysis and/or patient specific diagnosis or treatment recommendations in an effort to ensure that any application that could cause misinformation leading to a health risks, are moderated. The increasing use of smart phones and the prevalence of mobile technology use both clinical and lifestyle applications, helps to propel the growth the market. Moreover, the use of smart technologies helps to educate and improve the health behaviors in the region.

Asia Pacific (APAC) is the fastest-growing regional market for mHealth; and China, India, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and Rest of APAC are the major contributors to the market in this region. Asia Pacific is likely to account for over 23.26% market share of the global MHealth market in 2021 owing to the growing investments from international players in China and India, improving government support in countries, expanding base of CRO services, and advancing healthcare infrastructure. Therefore, the region holds huge potential for the MHealth market players to grow during the forecast period.

Among Asia Pacific region, China holds largest share for mhealth market. China is country with huge population and have flourished healthcare infrastructure, with rapid growth in communication. The level of social and economic developments differs between coastal area and rural areas. In the coastal areas, health resources are relatively well developed and easily available as compared to rural areas of the west. Patients in rural areas often experience more difficulties due to lack of medical care and drugs. The development of mhealth in China is relatively new.

Healthcare represents a major challenge for many countries as rising health care costs, aging populations, access disparities and chronic illnesses threaten traditional health care systems. China provide strong examples of technological developments and emerging opportunities in mobile health, or mHealth. In order to best leverage these advances, China and the United States must change operations and policy practice in order to facilitate the growth of the mHealth sector and ultimately capture the benefits of mobile technology in healthcare, these scholars assert. In both China and the United States, the cost of medical care is growing rapidly. In China rural residents primarily use mobile phones to access the Internet. According to the survey of China Network Information Center (CNNIC) in June 2013, 78.9 percent of Internet users in China’s rural areas rely on mobile phones. The gap in medical services between urban areas and rural areas is apparent in China as well. China has many people who suffer from cardiovascular issues as well as hypertension and diabetes. According to the Chronic and Non-communicable Disease Prevention and Control Center of Chinese Center for Disease and Prevention, around 33% of adults received diagnoses of hypertension and approximately 9.5% were told they had diabetes. Moreover, according to the China Health Statistics Yearbook, urban areas have more medical personnel and sick beds than rural areas. According to The State Council Information Office of the People’s Republic of China, doctors diagnose 260 million people with chronic illnesses every year. Chronic diseases account for 85 percent of the deaths in China every year. In turn, the number of people afflicted with hypertension and diabetes has increased in recent years placing pressure on the health care system and the government to respond to the crisis.
