CONNECTED DRUG DELIVERY DEVICES MARKET: GROWTH AND TRENDS
Currently, a significant proportion of the global healthcare burden is being attributed to non-adherence to the medication that is prescribed to patients. Poor medication adherence is one of the leading causes of discrepancies between results obtained from randomized clinical studies and real-world health data (captured outside clinical settings). According to the World Health Organization (WHO), two-thirds of the population is prescribed at least one medication. Of these, an estimated 50% of the patients do not follow the treatment regimen as prescribed by the doctors. Some of the factors that have influenced non-adherence amongst the patient population include challenges linked to accessing medications and healthcare services, and the inability to understand complex dosing schedules.
Over the years, several strategies have been developed by various pharmaceutical companies and healthcare providers to improve patient compliance towards their treatment regimens. One such alternative that has gained popularity in the last few years is connected / smart drug delivery devices and other digital health solutions that enable patients / healthcare providers to track the medication activity of patients and thereby, help improve drug adherence. Notably, the integration of connected / smart drug delivery devices with emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence and blockchain can further enhance the prospects for these devices. With the growing demand for accurate and effective digital health solutions and advancement in technologies (integration with telehealth platforms), the global connected drug delivery devices market is poised to witness steady growth, in the foreseen future.
