TELEMEDICINE MARKET SEGMENTATION

BY TYPE

Based on Type, the global market can be categorized into Software & Hardware

 

• Software Segment: Telemedicine products and services are divided into segments based on software that helps support remote consulting, patient care, and medical services. Such solutions can be found in telehealth applications, EHRs, and patient engagement solutions, to name a few, which are intended to improve efficiency and enable better provider-patient collaboration. This segment is growing and pushing innovation resultant from the need for easier interfaces and integrated systems.

 

• Hardware Segment: The Telemedicine Market’s hardware segment involves hardware equipment, including videoconferencing equipment, diagnostic instruments, and monitoring devices that would allow practitioners to have satisfactory and effective virtual consultations and interactions. This segment also includes various mobile health (mHealth) devices and telemedicine carts fitted with different tools for examinations from a distance. With telehealth increasing, the need for enhancing hardware technology is paramount to support the degree of connectivity as well as make the necessary positive difference to the patient results.

 

BY APPLICATION

Based on Application, the global market can be categorized into Cardiology, Radiology & Dermatology

• Cardiology: Applications of telemedicine in cardiology enable distant monitoring, consultation, and subsequent follow-up to be made on patients, thereby improving their access to specialized heart health care services. With the new wearable devices, the patients’ signs of the cardiovascular diseases can be real-time processed by the cardiologists. This application segment is experiencing fast growth due to the rising incidence of CVD and the need for patients’ repeated interactions.

• Radiology: Telemedicine in the field of radiology employs technology to allow quicker diagnoses and treatment plans; we employ X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans, among others. By using telemedicine applications, radiologists can work with care providers when it comes to distances; hence, patients can gain quick access to specialists and increase organizational productivity. Increased demand for teleradiology services exists due to the increased complexity of delivering reports more promptly as well as an increasing scarcity of radiologists around the world.

• Dermatology: Telemedicine in dermatology makes it possible for the patient to obtain a specialist’s opinion on skin conditions through video and/or remote consultations without having to physically present themselves for a checkup. In other cases, patients can take pictures of their skin problems and possibly upload them to the application for dermatologists to consider and begin the treatment process. The changes that are being seen in the skin health consciousness, together with the provision for the virtual consultation services, have attributed to the development of tele dermatology services.
