The global occupational therapy software market is expected to reach USD 289.1 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 10.8% during the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Occupational therapy helps patients to recover from surgeries and treat patients having mental conditions and developmental ailments. The occupational therapy software helps the therapists to ease their operational workflows in order to provide better care to the patients. This is anticipated to be a key driver for the growth of the market.
Rising incidences of the diseases such as arthritis, brain injury, Alzheimer's disease, dementia, depression, anxiety, and amputations are anticipated to increase the demand for the software during the forecast period. Occupational therapists help patients suffering from dementia in adult daycare settings to retain their existing functions for as long as possible through the wellness programs such as fall prevention and caregiver educational sessions. This is anticipated to contribute to the demand for software solutions.
Occupational therapy software helps therapists to manage and access patient data conveniently, which is expected to drive their adoption. With better access to patient data through EHR platforms, therapists can provide better patient outcomes. Moreover, they are integrated with billing, documentation, and task management solutions to better manage patient outcomes. This integration makes it convenient for therapists to provide enhanced services with full compliance and security, which is anticipated to considerably increase the adoption of the software.
The rising number of initiatives undertaken by the key players to provide innovative solutions is expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period. For instance, Occupational Therapy Software by Practice Pro is an all-in-one solution that provides scheduling, billing, and documentation, which helps therapists to provide improved care for pediatric and adult patients. The rising demand for occupational therapists is anticipated to further increase the adoption of the software during the forecast period.
For instance, according to an article by St. Catherine University dated February 2021, the employment of occupational therapists is expected to grow by 32.0% from 2019 to 2030. The rising demand is attributed to the increasing number of children being diagnosed with developmental disabilities, rising incidences of type-2 diabetes, and the growing geriatric population among other factors. Occupational therapists help type-2 diabetes patients by focusing on lifestyle management and promoting healthy living through self-care skills.
