Connected Healthcare Global Market Report 2024

A connected healthcare system is a healthcare management approach that utilizes technology to provide remote treatment.

The primary types of connected healthcare include e-prescription, mHealth services, and mHealth devices. E-prescription involves the use of digital format prescriptions, differing from traditional written prescriptions, to send prescription orders to patients, physicians, or other medical practitioners during treatment. This method enhances the prescription process, minimizing writing errors and improving accuracy. Connected healthcare functions encompass remote patient monitoring, clinical monitoring, telemedicine, among others. The applications of connected healthcare span monitoring, diagnosis and treatment, education and awareness, healthcare management and wellness, and prevention. These applications are utilized by end-users such as hospitals and clinics, as well as for home monitoring.

The growing integration of information technology (IT) in healthcare is playing a significant role in propelling the growth of the connected healthcare market. Connected healthcare leverages the internet and wireless technology to collect patient data and facilitate patient-caregiver connections, enabling remote healthcare monitoring through automated systems. The seamless functioning and management of vast medical data in connected healthcare rely on healthcare IT integration software, integrated into healthcare devices and applications. This integration enhances remote healthcare management. A survey conducted by The Healthcare Financial Management Association in May 2021 revealed a threefold increase in the deployment of automation technologies in hospitals from 2020 to 2021. In 2021, 50% of hospitals deployed automation technologies, compared to 15% in 2020. This growth trend indicates the increasing adoption of IT in healthcare, contributing to the expansion of the connected healthcare market.

The rising healthcare expenditure is expected to drive the growth of the connected healthcare market. Healthcare expenditure encompasses the total monetary resources spent on healthcare services, treatments, and medical products within a specific healthcare system or region.
