Growth Drivers:

The global increase in chronic health conditions, such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and respiratory disorders, and aging populations (especially in North America, Europe, and Japan), necessitates regular medical attention and monitoring. For instance, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Chronic disease affects 6 in 10 adults in the US, while 4 in 10 adults live with multiple chronic diseases. Telehealth and telemedicine in a specific situation provide practical solutions for continuous care and management for the particular patient with chronic illness so they don’t have to go for frequent visits in person.

The widespread use of smartphones and improved internet connectivity around the globe have made telehealth & telemedicine services more accessible. For instance, according to the Indian Ministry of Communication, Total internet subscribers increased from 251.6 million as on March 2014 to 954.4 million in March 2024. Higher adoption rates of digital healthcare solutions are made possible because of the increased accessibility, as patients opt for virtual consultations and remote monitoring as they become more and more convenient.

Governments worldwide have recognized the potential of telehealth to enhance healthcare delivery and have implemented policies to support its adoption. For instance, the National Health Services (NHS) England introduced annual Digital Maturity Assessments across the NHS for social care and digital health in July 2022, aiming to integrate telehealth into standard healthcare practices.

Digital technologies have intertwined rapidly and have been integrated to improve telehealth & telemedicine services. Health apps and platforms have made the process of remote consultations, diagnostics and monitoring much more sophisticated. These tools provide the ease of communication between patients and healthcare providers and are efficient and effective way of care delivery. Additionally, more and more are being used to analyze the data of the patients, to predict potential health results, and to create tailored treatment plans thereby improving the telehealth and telemedicine services.
