Digital healthcare industry is experiencing an upsurge, driven by the increasing demand for personalized treatment, remote care and at home disease monitoring. The healthcare industry has already adapted to digitization, fostering an ecosystem of remote care. Digital healthcare technologies, such as remote patient monitoring devices, mHealth (including patient centric healthcare app) along with telehealth services helps in disease diagnosis, progression, prescribing medicines and post treatment at home.
Advent of smartphones coupled with integration of artificial intelligence in healthcare, and Internet of Things has further supported the digital healthcare services to offer precise care to the patients. The market for digital healthcare has also been bolstered by increasing awareness of overall well-being and rising concern for chronic diseases. A report published by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in June 2024 highlighted that nearly 90% (USD 4.5 trillion) healthcare expenditures of United States are for people suffering from chronic and mental health conditions.
Moreover, every year nearly 1.7 million people are diagnosed with cancer and around 6,00,000 dies from it. With rising cancer cases, the cost of cancer treatment is expected to reach over USD 240 billion by 2030. Digital healthcare solutions in this instance emerge as a cost-effective and potential solution to offer patient care with real time analysis approach.
In addition to remote patient monitoring, the availability of robots integrated with advanced metaverse in healthcare technologies (augmented reality and virtual reality) and high-speed data transmission networks has made it possible to perform surgeries from a distance. in November 2024, Dr Youness Ahallal (French Surgeon) sets the new record for conducting a prostate cancer surgery on a patient who was 12,000 km away in Shanghai, China. Surgeon has utilized Chinese-made Toumai Robot to perform two-hour long procedure, the long remote human surgery every performed successfully.
Digital healthcare has come a long way, making treatment accessible, affordable and efficient for the patients to live a quality life. Driven by widespread adoptability, several industrial players including startup companies are actively incorporating into the industry for technological innovations. Furthermore, the USFDA has also initiated “Digital Health Center of Excellence” to empower healthcare providers and pharmaceutical companies for advancing their efforts for the development of cutting-edge digital health solutions.
It is worth noting here that in June 2024, HUMA (UK based healthcare technology company) secured over USD 80 million in a Series D funding round bringing the total of USD 300 million. The funding round was led by investors such as AstraZeneca, Hat Technology Fund 4 by HAT SGR, Leaps by Bayer and HV Fund by Hitachi Ventures. Huma has also launched a new product Huma Cloud Platform and aims to utilize these funds for technological innovations to deliver digital healthcare solutions for predictive and proactive care.
As industrial players continue to accelerate groundbreaking technological innovations, digital healthcare market will remain investible for a long period, expected to grow steadily during the forecast period.
