As healthcare spending around the world increases, innovative methods of delivering cost-effective healthcare must be developed. Remote patient monitoring (RPM), referring to the use of technology to measure and transmit physiologic data beyond traditional healthcare settings, has emerged as a promising solution to drive down healthcare costs while maintaining a high standard of care for patients.
IDTechEx have released the report “Remote Patient Monitoring 2023-2033: Technologies, Markets and Opportunities”, covering trends, opportunities, and outlook for the use of wearable and connected medical devices in the remote monitoring of patients’ health parameters, including activity, heart rate, blood pressure, heart rhythm, and blood glucose. IDTechEx forecasts the market for devices and technologies supporting RPM to reach US$45 billion by the year 2033.
Today, RPM technologies and services are centered on major chronic conditions spanning cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and respiratory diseases. IDTechEx’s latest research report on the RPM market covers key technical and commercial trends in medical devices used to monitor and manage patient chronic conditions remotely. These devices span established technologies such as blood pressure cuffs and pulse oximeters to growing segments such as electronic skin patches for ambulatory cardiac monitoring and continuous glucose monitoring. The rise of consumer devices such as smartwatches in health monitoring, is also covered.
