The report, now available on ASDReports, recognizes the following companies as the key players in the Global IT Spending in Remote Healthcare Delivery Market: GE Healthcare, McKesson, Philips Healthcare and Siemens Healthcare
Other Prominent Vendors in the market are: Aerotal Medical Systems, Agfa-Gevaert, AMD Telemedicine, Bosch Healthcare, Cardio Net, Cisco Systems, GlobalMed, Honeywell Life Care Solutions and Polycom
Commenting on the report, an analyst said: “With declining costs of smart devices and increasing Internet penetration, patients can now consult doctors about minor treatment or consultation at their comfort without traveling. Doctors can also provide consistent support to patients even from home. Video consulting saves time and provides timely care for chronic illnesses and sudden emergencies. Video conferencing not only provides first aid in emergency, but also provides patients with special hospital services that increase their chances of survival.”
According to the report, there is a shortage of physicians and doctor across the globe. Rural populations have limited access to healthcare, and healthcare professionals often opt to work in urban rather than rural ones. However, telehealth and mHealth are the two emerging healthcare delivery solutions that can mitigate the effects of the low physician-to-patient ratio in remote areas, which will contribute to their high adoption rate during the forecast period.
Further, the report states that many healthcare providers in developing economies have adopted telehealth strategies, but these pilot projects have failed due to poor network connectivity, unreliable equipment, and lack of bandwidth availability.
The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key vendors.
