Synopsis: A key enabler in the digital transformation of the healthcare industry, mobile healthcare or mHealth, refers to the use of mobile connectivity and associated technologies across the healthcare continuum. The surge in digital healthcare has been driven by the critical need to avoid exposure to COVID-19. Healthcare providers and payers are embracing the change, which is evolving care coordination, maximizing outreach, boosting patient engagement, and improving outcomes, while minimizing costs.

mHealth offers a wealth of opportunities to the pharmaceutical industry, ranging from accelerated clinical trial innovation and medication adherence monitoring to securing the supply chain and combating counterfeit drugs. In addition, with the increasing prevalence of mobile apps that provide therapeutic impact, the digital therapeutics space is beginning to emerge, which may one day rival mainstream pharmaceuticals in areas such as chronic disease care.
​
Keen to monetize their vast wireless network assets, mobile operators view mHealth as a significant revenue opportunity – many are extending beyond providing pure connectivity services, towards end-to-end mHealth offerings such as remote patient monitoring.  
Other stakeholders that are set to benefit from mHealth include but are not limited to connected medical and wearable device OEMs, app developers, Big Data and analytics specialists, cloud computing giants, and even ride-hailing providers such as Uber and Lyft – whose platforms are increasingly being integrated with healthcare IT systems, letting healthcare providers improve their level of care by booking rides for their patients.

Driven by the thriving ecosystem, SNS Research estimates that the mHealth market will account for more than $90 Billion in 2022 alone. Despite barriers relating to regulation, patient acceptance and privacy concerns, SNS Research estimates further growth at a CAGR of approximately 30% between 2022 to 2026.

Key Findings:
The report has the following key findings:
  • Driven by the thriving ecosystem, SNS Research estimates that the mHealth market will account for more than $90 Billion in 2022 alone. Despite barriers relating to regulation, adoptability, and privacy concerns, SNS Research estimates further growth at a CAGR of approximately 30% over the forecast period.
  • Ongoing advances in key enabling technologies such as the miniaturization of sensors and the development of 5G NR (New Radio) platforms, a wave of new applications is beginning to emerge – ranging from connected drug delivery platforms to UHD (Ultra High Definition) video streaming for remote medical examinations.
  • Digital therapeutics (DTx) are redefining healthcare delivery and emerging as a viable option for clinicians and patients. Efficacy of DTx applications will lead to cost-effective, evidence-based, personalized treatments, especially for patients with chronic diseases.
  • SNS Research estimates that annual unit shipments of health and fitness-centric wearable devices will surpass 223 million by the end of 2022. In order to gain valuable insights from the data generated by these devices, healthcare providers and other stakeholders are increasingly investing in Big Data and analytics technology.
  • As key stakeholders realize the revenue potential of mHealth, a spate of prominent strategic partnerships are beginning to emerge. For example, pharmaceutical giant Pfizer has recently partnered with digital therapeutics specialist Alex Therapeutics to co-develop evidence based and clinically validated mobile application therapies.
