[Research Report] The remote patient monitoring market is expected to reach US$ 188,952.22 million by 2028 from US$ 29,062.30 million in 2021. The market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 30.7% from 2021 to 2028.

Market Insights and Analyst View:

Remote patient monitoring system, a technology used to collect patients medical and health information from health monitoring and diagnostic devices at one location and transfer it to the physician or doctor at another location. The most used remote patient monitoring technologies are accelerometers that can evaluate both measures of activity and sleep. Other remote patient monitoring technologies include mobile apps that track disease activity, electronic peak flow meters, continuous glucose monitoring, blood pressure and heart rhythm monitoring, and remote cough measurement devices. Due to which, it helps to reduce the patient hospitalization time and reduces hospital visits. This further improves patient's care and quality of life.

The increasing product launch in remote patient monitoring technologies is the major driving factor for the growth of the market. For instance, in March 2021, Medtronic officially confirmed its Medtronic Care Management Services (MCMS)(opens new window) business has released two new solutions created to assist, monitor, and triage support for patients who may be concerned about COVID-19 and their respiratory symptoms. This factor is bolstering the healthcare monitoring devices growth.

Growth Drivers and Challenges:

Chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and obesity are the leading causes of death across the world and these diseases account for the largest share of the country's health care cost. According to CDC, in 2018, ~9% of the total population had diabetes, and it is the major cause of lower-limb amputation and kidney failure in the US. Further, the report also suggests that more than 1.5 million American population are diagnosed with diabetes in the US every year. Similar scenario of higher prevalence of diabetes persists in other regions such as Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East and Africa. According to International Diabetes Federation's published IDF Diabetes Atlas, in 2017, south-east part of Asia had ~19% of the total diabetes population globally.

According to the American College of Cardiology Foundation, in 2018, CHD was the major cause of death, owing to cardiovascular disease (CVD), followed by stroke, high BP, heart failure, and other CVDs contribution share of 16.8%, 9.4%, 9.0%, and 17.9% respectively. By 2035, nearly 130 million adults in the US are feared to have CVD. Thus, rising geriatric population and related chronic disorders are expected to push the sales of cardiac monitoring devices and other vital sign monitoring devices market, thus propelling the growth of global remote patient monitoring devices market during the forecast period.

The regulatory requirements for medical devices are well established worldwide, but advanced remotely monitored devices need some different guidelines to control and avoid the malpractices. Remote patient monitoring devices are designed to record patient’s data and transmit it to physician or doctor for diagnosis and also saved for analysis, but little has been established with respect to responsibility for when that information lands in the wrong hands. There has been rapid transformation in the technology during the recent years, leading to a greater need for the formation of regulatory guidelines ensuring proper use of the medical devices. Concerns regarding issues such as, privacy, security, data ownership, and consent are expected to offer obstacle to the adoption of remotely monitored medical devices, during the forecast period.

Covid-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic affected economies and industries in various countries across the globe. Lockdowns, travel restrictions, and business shutdowns in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), South & Central America (SAM), and the Middle East & Africa (MEA) hampered the growth of several industries, including the Healthcare IT industry. North America has experienced a rising number of cases of COVID-19 since its outbreak. The clinical and product development engine has experienced profound disruption as colleagues adjust to remote work environments and lab capacity is reduced. Clinical trials are also severely affected by disruptions in both new enrolment and in keeping existing patients on therapies. The impact of COVID-19 has placed many biomedical sensors companies under pressure. However, it also has had a positive impact on the medical device industry, wherein the demand for R&D activity is increasing, leading to a rise in medical device assistance for the detection of COVID-19. For instance, the researchers of the University of Illinois Grainger College of Engineering developed an ultrasensitive test using a paper-based electrochemical sensor that can detect the presence of the coronavirus in five minutes.

The pulse oximeter is among the essential medical devices used to monitor the patients' oxygen level and heart rate. During the pandemic, there has been a rise in the application of pulse oximeter devices at hospitals and homes. During this COVID-19 pandemic, the pulse oximeter has proven helpful to patients with chronic lung diseases to monitor blood oxygen levels. For instance, as per a press release on American Lung Association in April 2020, it was suggested to use an oximeter for at-home use in cases of a chronic lung or heart condition that regularly affect your oxygen saturation level.

Due to the pandemic international trade and supply chain are disrupted, it has affected the sales and manufacturing of remote patient monitoring products for a short period. However, overall prospects for market growth are considered positive.
