The global patient engagement platforms market is on a robust growth trajectory, with an anticipated compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17% during the forecast period. The market, valued at USD 16.6 billion in 2021, is expected to reach nearly USD 93.4 billion by 2032, driven by a confluence of transformative factors reshaping the healthcare landscape.
Key factors fueling this growth include significant breakthroughs in online services across various aspects of life, notably the development of patient engagement mobile health apps. These innovations are enabling real-time connections between healthcare providers and patients, enhancing communication and improving overall patient experience.
The increasing percentage of the senior population, coupled with a rising prevalence of contagious diseases, has intensified the demand for virtual consulting services. As traditional visits to medical facilities pose health risks, more patients are turning to digital solutions for their healthcare needs, further propelling the market forward.
Moreover, the growing popularity of digital communication and effective data utilization is contributing to the expansion of patient engagement platforms. Healthcare organizations are recognizing the importance of leveraging technology to foster engagement and improve health outcomes.
The HITECH Act formed ONC and gave the US Department of Health and Human Services the authority to create initiatives to promote health IT and improve healthcare quality, safety, and efficiency. The usage of patient experience technology solutions is likely to increase as a result of such activities.
The majority of healthcare organizations engaged in patient engagement in healthcare lack the necessary infrastructure (technology, data, and other resources) to implement complex HCIT solutions.
Providers must make additional expenditures in infrastructure development to support IT systems in order to properly integrate patient experience technology solutions.
Owing to the efficiency of a patient experience technology solution is determined by the hardware and software available to the end-user, any end-user interested in implementing one must first invest extensively in these areas. Many hospitals have limited funds; such large investments are difficult for them to make.
Patient engagement platforms market adoption is on the rise as a result of factors such as the rising prevalence of chronic diseases and the growing geriatric population.
According to the American Diabetes Association 2020, 1.5 million new cases of diabetes are diagnosed in the United States each year. Companies are focused on the development of patient engagement solutions in response to the rising number of diabetic patients.
Data security issues are extremely critical in the digital patient engagement platforms since the infrastructure can be exposed to networks that are not part of the organization’s secure network.
Medical devices connected to home networks, public Wi-Fi, or cellular networks, for example, may broadcast information back to the hospital’s network. These external networks may not be secure, allowing unwanted access to the data being exchanged. As a result, patient comments may be shared with unintended recipients, which could be exploited and lead to a security breach.
