Patient Centric Healthcare App Market Report 2025

The patient centric healthcare app market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $21.37 billion in 2024 to $28.96 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 35.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased digitalization, rising healthcare costs, patient empowerment, demand for convenience, and healthcare access barriers.

The patient centric healthcare app market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $105.44 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 38.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to telemedicine expansion, IoT devices integration, personalized treatment plans, predictive health analytics, and blockchain for data security. Major trends in the forecast period include a continued focus on data privacy, value-based care models, integration with wearable devices, personal health records (PHR), and a focus on user experience (UX).

The growth of the patient-centric healthcare app market is expected to be driven by the increasing demand for telehealth and mobile health services. Telehealth and mobile health services leverage telecommunications technology, such as video conferencing, mobile applications, and remote monitoring devices, to deliver healthcare services and remotely access medical information. Many patient-centric healthcare apps incorporate these services to offer convenient and accessible healthcare solutions, including remote consultations, urgent care and triage, mental health support, and the collection of behavioral and health indicators provided by patients. For example, data from Supportive Care ABA in March 2023 indicated that in 2021, 13% to 17% of US patients used telehealth, reaching 24.2 million individuals, with a projected increase to 27.6 million by 2022. Additionally, Vicert d.o.o. reported in December 2022 that 62% of smartphone users had health apps, 77% of adults received health information through their mobile devices, and there were 350,000 mobile health apps available in 2022. The rising demand for telehealth and mobile health services is thus a key driver for the growth of the patient-centric healthcare app market.

The rising prevalence of chronic diseases is anticipated to drive the growth of the patient-centric healthcare app market in the coming years. Chronic diseases are long-term health conditions that can persist throughout an individual’s life. Patient-centric healthcare apps are crucial for managing chronic diseases as they empower patients with tools for continuous monitoring, personalized care plans, and timely information, which ultimately enhances self-management and improves treatment outcomes. For instance, in February 2024, the World Health Organization, a Switzerland-based intergovernmental organization, projected that by 2050, there would be over 35 million new cancer cases, indicating a 77% increase from the estimated 20 million cases reported in 2022. Therefore, the rising prevalence of chronic diseases is fueling the growth of the patient-centric healthcare app market.

Technological health solutions are emerging as a significant trend in the patient-centric healthcare app market. Major companies within this market are innovating technological health applications to maintain their competitive edge. For example, in January 2023, MyTelemedicine, a US-based telehealth platform, launched its new website. This site offers a sophisticated telehealth solution that enables healthcare organizations to create customized branded virtual care programs. The technology ensures seamless integration, delivery, and management of virtual care through a nationwide clinical network, a customizable telehealth platform, and a dedicated 24/7 care coordination team. Organizations can choose a turnkey solution to launch services within 30 days or utilize the API suite for custom integration and workflow development tailored to their user experience.

Companies operating in the patient-centric healthcare app market are increasingly focusing on developing advanced smartwatch apps to improve real-time health monitoring and facilitate seamless communication between patients and healthcare providers.

For instance, in September 2024, ResMed, a US-based medical device company, introduced a line of patient-centric products, including the myAir App and Dawn. The myAir App now features compatibility with smartwatches for both Apple and Android devices, along with sleep staging integration from Apple Health and Health Connect, personalized coaching, and holistic trending. Additionally, Dawn, an AI-enabled health concierge, provides 24/7 support for sleep-related questions and therapy assistance.
