Market Dynamics

Rising demand for healthcare access drives growth in the remote healthcare market

The remote healthcare market is rapidly expanding because the demand for healthcare services is always high. One of the key reasons for this demand is the scarcity of healthcare workforce globally, and even more so in hard-to-staff regions such as rural areas. The World Health Organization estimates that there will be a shortage of about 18 million healthcare workers by the year 2030, hence the importance of remote healthcare solutions. Also, a necessity emerged from the COVID-19 outbreak, as teleconsultations are needed when there is no need for direct physical contact with a doctor.

Telemedicine has turned out to be an effective way, as even more people go for medical help without visiting doctors, giving up long hours of waiting. It also plays a role in placing some control over healthcare costs since for both parties, there is no need for the construction of extensive facilities and or face-to-face consultations.

Technological advancements in telemedicine and wearables fuel remote healthcare adoption

The increased use of remote healthcare delivery is facilitated by telemedicine technology and wearable technology, and this provides various opportunities in the remote healthcare market. Telemedicine Tech companies today provide high-definition video consultation, remote monitoring systems, as well as telepharmacy worldwide to make the medical industry more efficient and effective.

The application of artificial intelligence and machine learning in telemedicine is also improving the diagnosis factor to favor medical treatments. Smarter wearables and devices such as smartwatches, fitness trackers, and specially designed medical devices are allowing patients to minutely track their heart rates and other vital signs and share them with both physicians and the patient. These devices work in sync with telemedicine applications, which in turn help clinicians monitor patients' situations and then take appropriate action whenever required. Such combined use of technology increases the efficacy of remote healthcare services leading to better patient health and active care.

Limited internet access in rural areas hinders remote healthcare growth.

Restricted connectivity in rural areas is still a massive challenge that slows the advancement of the remote healthcare market. Most of the inhabitants of rural areas experience slow or even intermittent internet connectivity that hinders them from using telemedicine which requires a high-speed internet connection. This is particularly so because such individuals are either constrained by technological devices or lack adequate knowledge in dealing with digital technology. If these populations can't depend on a stable connection, they are limited in their ability to participate in remote health care, which means there is a digital gap.

Further, the absence of the Internet also hinders healthcare providers from offering patients remote check-ups or consultations. It means that removing the existing gap in terms of infrastructural development and advancing coverage of the internet is necessary to achieve a common goal of providing equal opportunities in accessing healthcare services in the country.

Telemedicine adoption in underserved regions presents significant opportunities in the remote healthcare market.

Several market growth opportunities exist in areas that have yet to access adequate telemedicine services. In many cases, these communities are in remote or rural areas or are in low-income countries where there are insufficient healthcare facilities and few people who provide such services. There is a real way to solve this problem, and that is with the help of Telemedicine, a system of consultations in which these regions can get in contact without traveling large distances. Telemedicine solutions cater to such areas since they are often lacking expertise in specialized medical services. Using telehealth, there is an opportunity for the health care centers to cover a population who could otherwise rarely or even never access health care services. Telemedicine particularly occupies these areas also because it serves as a form of health equity by affordably, conveniently, and timely offering the required services to vulnerable groups.

AI and machine learning integration into remote healthcare can enhance services.

AI coupled with ML is already getting incorporated into remote care delivery and has the potential to transform the remote healthcare market. AI can also be used to analyze large amounts of health data and present knowledge enhancing diagnosis eligibility and treatment organization. For instance, when analyzing the patient's records, AI can find peculiarities that human healthcare workers might not notice and, as a result, diagnose the diseases in their early stages. It also means that the functions of patient feedback can enhance the prospect of using the machine learning model to anticipate patient outcomes according to intervention.

AI-based tools can enable monitoring by processing real-time data from wearable devices and can give signals to healthcare providers regarding early signs of trouble. Such integration also helps in improving and advancing the infrastructure in healthcare delivery and increases the effectiveness, efficiency, precision, and availability of health products of the various remote services, as well as making healthcare more individualized and preventive.

Industry Experts Opinion

“By providing answers to some of the most important problems facing healthcare, including the lack of caregivers and restricted access to providers, AI tools are revolutionizing the remote patient monitoring sector. Although not completely new, the telehealth kiosk is one technology that is becoming more popular and is being utilized in more significant ways.”

• Amanda L. Bury, Chief Commercial Officer at Infermedica.

“Wearable technology that continuously collects vital signs is a major advancement in remote care.
