The Mobile Healthcare (mHealth) Bible: 2014 - 2020:Industry Forecast Report

The Mobile Healthcare (mHealth) Bible: 2014 - 2020
With more than 7 Billion mobile network subscriptions worldwide, the mobile communications sector is
rapidly gaining traction from a diverse range of vertical sectors. Healthcare is no exception to this trend.
As healthcare providers seek to maximize their patient outreach while minimizing costs, many view mobile
healthcare (or mHealth) as the solution to improve healthcare cost-efficiency. mHealth refers to the usage of
mobile communications technology & devices to enhance access to healthcare information, improve
distribution of routine and emergency health services and provide diagnostic services.
Mobile network operators also view mHealth as a lucrative opportunity for the monetization of their mobile
connectivity services. Given that most operators have established themselves as reputable consumer brands,
they are also eyeing on opportunities to offer services beyond simple connectivity. Many operators already
offer branded or co-branded end-to-end mHealth solutions to their customer bases.
In addition, mHealth offers a multitude to opportunities to the pharmaceutical industry ranging from R&D
activities to securing the supply chain and, in the battle against counterfeit drugs.
Driven by the thriving ecosystem, SNS Research estimates that the mHealth market will account for nearly $9
Billion in 2014 alone. Despite barriers relating to regulation, patient acceptance and privacy concerns, SNS
Research estimates further growth at a CAGR of nearly 40% over the next 6 years.
