Digital Health Market: Focus on Digital Therapeutic, Monitoring and Diagnostic Solutions, 2018-2030
LONDON, August 30, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- INTRODUCTION
Chronic disorders, such as diabetes, heart disease, obesity, mental health problems and insomnia, are considered to be the leading causes of death and disability across the world. These are largely considered to be the consequence of unhealthy lifestyle choices and exposure to harmful disease stimulants. According to a 2018 report published by the Center for Managing Chronic Disease at the University of Michigan, more than 50% of the global population currently lives with some form of chronic disease. Projections indicate that the global prevalence of diabetes (considered to be one of the fastest-growing chronic disease indications), is around 451 million, and is expected to reach 693 million by 2025. In addition, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that, at present, 450 million people worldwide are suffering from some form of mental health problem and / or neurological disorder. The increasing prevalence of such clinical conditions has imposed a significant burden on the modern healthcare system. In the US, the cost burden related to such long term clinical conditions has been estimated to be approximately 86% of the USD 3.2 trillion that is spent by the country on healthcare, each year.

Digital healthcare, a relatively new concept that emerged only a few years ago, is believed to possess the potential to address the rising concerns related to the growing socio-economic burden. Driven by the demand for self-management approaches, personalized healthcare solutions and customized treatment regimens made available in the home-care setting, digital health companies are presently engaged in developing several innovative solutions for therapeutic, surveillance and diagnostic use. Various digital therapeutics, through behavioral and psychological interventions, have been designed to have a direct impact on the chronic clinical conditions by providing motivational support and encouraging patients to make better lifestyle choices. Such therapeutics are available in a variety of gaming solutions, standalone software applications or combinations of the aforementioned solutions with personal coaching support, artificial intelligence (AI) support and medical device(s). A number of digital therapeutics have already been marketed and a significant proportion of such candidate therapies are in R&D phase. In order to introduce such unconventional products into the market, companies have followed multiple approaches, which include both B2B and B2C variants. It is also worth highlighting that certain companies are even attempting to offer reimbursements for their proprietary products by conducting clinical trials in order to establish therapeutic credibility and convince insurance providers and payers.
Significant advancements have also been made towards the development of novel solutions for remote monitoring and diagnosis of chronic disorders. Such solutions have been developed to provide healthcare assistance in real-time through smartphone applications and connected devices. These solutions vary significantly in complexity and range from simple solutions capable of tracking weight loss, blood pressure, body temperature and heart rate to more sophisticated solutions systems that are equipped to independently conduct blood tests to confirm the presence of a bacterial / viral infection.
