The rising incidence of chronic diseases worldwide is a key factor driving the growth of the mobile healthcare market. For example, in January 2024, the American Heart Association, a nonprofit organization based in the US, reported a slight increase in the total number of deaths in the cardiovascular sector, reaching 931,578. This represents a marginal rise of fewer than 3,000 fatalities compared to the previous year's total of 928,741, which had seen a significant increase of over 54,000 deaths. Additionally, the age-adjusted death rate from cardiovascular disease experienced a modest rise to 233.3 per 100,000, up by 4.0% from the previous year's rate of 224.4 per 100,000. Therefore, the growing prevalence of chronic diseases globally is driving the expansion of the mobile healthcare market.
The rise of telehealth and telemedicine is anticipated to drive the growth of the mobile healthcare market in the future. Telehealth encompasses the use of telecommunications technology to deliver a broad range of healthcare services and information remotely, while telemedicine focuses specifically on remote clinical consultations and healthcare delivery. Both telehealth and telemedicine utilize mobile technologies to provide remote healthcare services, enhancing accessibility and convenience for patients. Mobile healthcare apps and platforms integrate with telehealth services, enabling healthcare providers to access patient data and records during virtual consultations. For instance, a report published in October 2022 by the National Center for Health Statistics, a US-based federal agency under the Department of Health and Human Services, noted that telemedicine usage increased with age and was more common among women (42.0%) than men (31.7%). Additionally, non-Hispanic White adults (39.2%) and non-Hispanic American Indian or Alaska Native adults (40.6%) were more likely to use telemedicine compared to Hispanic (32.8%), non-Hispanic Black (33.1%), and non-Hispanic Asian (33.0%) adults. Thus, the growth of telehealth and telemedicine is significantly contributing to the expansion of the mobile healthcare market.
Major companies in the mobile healthcare market are developing cloud-based healthcare solutions to secure a competitive advantage. A cloud-based healthcare system utilizes cloud computing technologies and services to store, manage, access, and analyze healthcare-related data, information, and applications. For example, in November 2022, Boston Scientific Corporation, a US-based company, announced the launch of the LUX-Dx Insertable Cardiac Monitor (ICM) System, a long-term diagnostic device designed for implantation under the skin of patients. This innovative system aims to detect arrhythmias related to conditions such as atrial fibrillation (AF), cryptogenic stroke, and syncope. The LUX-Dx ICM incorporates advanced dual-stage algorithms that automatically identify and verify arrhythmias, delivering actionable insights for clinicians while reducing the likelihood of false positives.
Leading companies in the mobile healthcare market are also developing teleconsultation solutions to enhance their competitive position. Teleconsultation, synonymous with telemedicine or telehealth consultation, involves delivering medical or healthcare services remotely using telecommunication technologies. For example, China Mobile, in collaboration with health tech company Heals Healthcare, launched the Dr. HK mobile health app for teleconsultations in Hong Kong in May 2022. This app provides a range of online and offline health services, including access to electronic health records, online outpatient clinic appointments, video consultations, and medicine delivery. The app allows users to check real-time clinic queues and opening times, facilitating access to suitable healthcare services.
In September 2024, Asker Healthcare Group, a Sweden-based provider of medical products and solutions, acquired Hugo Technology Ltd for an undisclosed sum. The integration of Hugo Technology aims to leverage synergies between the two companies to enhance service offerings and customer support. This collaboration is anticipated to generate opportunities for cross-border benefits and improved customer assistance. Hugo Technology Ltd., a US-based company, specializes in offering technical services, including maintenance and repair for medical devices.
