Telemedicine Tools and Software Providers Market: Focus on Remote Patient Monitoring, 2021-2030
INTRODUCTION
In the last few years, there has been an evident rise in the global disease burden. More importantly, the inability to report a health issue to a medical practitioner in its initial stages is expected to cost over USD 90 billion in excess and more than USD 40 billion in productivity loss, each year. Moreover, a number of individuals that are required to frequent hospitals for monitoring of their health conditions, such visits cause additional financial burden. The aforementioned concerns can be mitigated by shifting to a home-based care setting. Amidst the recent initiatives in this context, remote patient monitoring (RPM) has emerged as a potent and sought-after alternative in the healthcare industry. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the healthcare industry evolved significantly, due to the need and urgency to treat patients with the aid of telemedicine and digital platforms. RPM technologies enable monitoring of patients virtually for a wide range of diseases from anywhere around the globe. It is worth mentioning that large volumes of health data can be accessed by medical researchers on dedicated cloud servers that have been designed to comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996. In addition to improved quality of care and better access to the patients, RPM offers ease of implementation, leading to substantial time and cost saving (by eliminating the need for transportation and waiting in queue to meet the physician).
Considering the various advantages offered by RPM, healthcare organizations are gradually becoming more receptive to adopting such software solutions for their regular use. As a matter of fact, the recent surge in demand for remote monitoring amidst the COVID-19 pandemic has served to create a strong case for organizations to shift to the use of remote patient monitoring consultation tools and software. In fact, a recent study stated that over 50% of the healthcare consumers would consider using RPM solutions as a part of their medical treatment, if recommended by their physician. Over the years, telemedicine start-ups have seen a significant growth. These companies are engaged in providing tailored solutions, along with remote access of medical care facilities to the patients. It is worth mentioning that around 90% of the healthcare organizations have either invested or intend to invest in remote patient monitoring systems. , Given the rising trend of remote patient monitoring software solutions in the healthcare industry and the ongoing efforts of software providers to further improve / expand their respective offerings, we believe that the remote patient monitoring consultation tools and software providers market is likely to evolve at a steady pace, till 2030.
