Growth Drivers and Challenges:

Tele-homecare is an innovative way to provide care, monitor a patient, and provide information using the latest technology. Monitoring allows early identification of diseases and provides aid in emergencies. Hence, the use of tele home services is increasing. For instance, according to an article published by JMIR Publications, in January 2022, children and their families chose pediatric tele home care since it is 9% less expensive than traditional hospital care, freeing up hospital beds for more complicated situations in Spain.

Moreover, people prefer tele-home at home rather than visiting a hospital for treatment owing to greater convenience and reduction in overall cost. For instance, according to an article published by the Partnership for Quality Home Healthcare, in 2021, ~86% of adults preferred to receive "post-hospital, short-term healthcare" at home, while only 5% preferred nursing homes in the United States. Tele home services provide an opportunity for significant savings for patients and hospitals.

Further, home monitoring programs are intended to help patients with re-hospitalization or frequent ER visits to receive treatment in the comfort at home. The home monitoring program aims to reduce hospital trips or readmissions to the physician and length of hospital stays. The monitoring programs comprise a wide range of patient health data from the point of care, including vital signs, weight, heart rates, blood sugar, blood oxygen levels, blood pressure, and electrocardiograms. The data can be transmitted to skilled health professionals in facilities such as hospitals & intensive care units, skilled nursing facilities, centralized off-site case management programs, and monitoring centers in primary care settings. The professionals monitor the patients remotely and provide a treatment plan based on the health data information. The home monitoring programs are designed to achieve the "triple aim" of health care by improving access to care, patient outcomes, and making health care systems more cost-effective.

Thus, the increasing adoption rate of tele-homes services and home monitoring is directly affecting the growth of the telehealth market.
