Market Overview
The global eHealth Market size was valued at $ 204.5 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach $ 873 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 17.5 % from 2022 to 2030.
Market Definition
e-health platform offers medical informatics associated with health services and information delivered through the Internet and connected technologies. eHealth applications are software and services that transmit, manage, record, or store information used in the delivery of healthcare treatment, record keeping, and payment.
Market Dynamics
Advancing government industries for the use of eHealth programs and solutions is expanding market growth. For instance, The U.S. government has introduced MyHealthEData Initiative to Put Patients at the Center of the US Healthcare System. MyHealthEData empowers patients by delivering them control of their healthcare data and allowing them to follow through with their healthcare expedition. The MyHealthEData initiative also helps to share their data, making the patient the center of the healthcare system. Further, India and the Netherlands government have presented plans for the e-health sector, to deliver digital health facilities and security to the Indians. The program desires to improve care quality and deliver better access to healthcare, using analytics and aggregated and anonymized data mining. Additionally, the shortage of healthcare professionals is a key driving factor in the market. The use of health IT could help address regional shortages of healthcare specialists by potentially enabling 12% of care to be provided remotely or asynchronously. The estimated impacts could more than double if comprehensive health IT systems were adopted by ambulatory care delivery settings. Regardless, the risk of data security might hamper the market growth. eHealth enables us to deliver medical through the Internet and affiliated technologies. Cybercriminals can hack into e-health solutions and compromise the Personal Health Information (PHI) of both patients as well as doctors and can misuse data to create fake IDs to buy drugs and medical equipment, which they can sell later. Moreover, the growth of IoT in healthcare would provide lucrative opportunities for the market in the forthcoming years.
Market Segmentation
The global eHealth market is primarily categorized based on type and end-user. Type is further segmented into Telemedicine, Consumer Health Information, mHealth, Health Management, EHR, ePrescribing, Clinical Decision Support, and Others. By end-user, the market is divided into Hospitals, Insurance Companies, and Others.
Based on type, Electronic Health Record (EHR) was overlooking the eHealth market in 2020 attributed to the growing adoption rate of EHR by developed and developing nations, the collaboration between companies to present Electronic Health Record (EHR) solutions, and the launch of new Electronic Health Record (EHR) platform. EHR delivers convenience for healthcare providers by offering quick access to patient records, provides clinical alerts, improved decision support, and real-time quality reporting. For instance, MEDITECH has introduced the MEDITECH Cloud Platform, solutions that permit healthcare organizations to further extend the possibilities of the Expanse Electronic Health Record (EHR). MEDITECH Cloud Platform delivers Expanse NOW, High Availability Snap Shot, and Virtual Care solutions, all created to work naturally in the cloud and are available through a subscription model.
