Biofeedback Is Significant Among Digital Health Market Trends
Biofeedback APIs are a key trend gaining popularity in the digital health market. Biofeedback is a technique that is used to learn to control some of the body's functions, such as heart rate. During biofeedback, a person is connected to electrical sensors that provide information about the user's body. For instance, in September 2019, Meru Health, a US-based digital mental healthcare company has launched a wearable to capture biofeedback, including heart rate variability (HRV), during mental health exercises. The clip-on wearable is affixed to an individual's ear while they complete specific exercises, like breathing practices, directed by Meru's platform. The goal is to show users a physiologically-relevant, quantifiable representation of the effect that correct, consistent use of breathing practices can achieve.
Access To The Digital Health Industry
Access to healthcare services is expected to improve in developing countries, thus supporting the digital health market. Effective implementation of government health plans is the core reason for the improvement in healthcare access in many developing regions such as India, China, and many Latin American countries. As the state funding on healthcare is increasing, policymakers are focusing on access to care in a cost-effective manner that improves health for their constituents. Digital healthcare can provide timely accessible care at lower costs and helps in reducing expensive emergency room visits by improving access to low-cost primary and specialty care. Many countries such as Russia and Brazil are focusing on improving their healthcare capabilities which will help drive the digital health market.
