Impact of COVID-19 on the global healthcare mobility solutions market:

Due to the rising demand for telemedicine and mHealth to prevent the transmission of COVID-19 infections among people, the market is expected to develop quickly during the forecast period. In addition, the market is seeing the development of solutions in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. In June 2020, Fitbit, for example, launched a new Ready for Work solution that gives employees access to key health metrics from their Fitbit device, as well as exposure, symptom, and temperature logging, to help employers deal with the unprecedented challenge of returning to work during the COVID-19 pandemic.

MARKET DRIVERS:

The growth of the global healthcare mobility solutions market is primarily expected to be driven by greater public awareness of the potential benefits of healthcare management, rising demand for point-of-care diagnosis and treatment, increased focus on personalized medicine, and a patient-centered approach.

A greater focus on patient-centric mobility applications, advanced connectivity to improve the quality of healthcare solutions, and higher cost efficiency of mobility solutions resulting in streamlined workflows, nursing staff and doctor shortages driving adoption of mobility solutions, and robust penetration of wireless networks such as 2G and 3G are driving the market ahead. Improved health outcomes have benefited physicians, patients, promoters, facilities, and communities due to advancements and the use of telemedicine and mHealth technologies. These solutions have boosted patient engagement while also encouraging proper mobile technology usage. In addition, the rising need to manage regulatory compliance through healthcare IT solutions, the increasing need to limit healthcare costs, the growing focus on improving the quality of care and clinical outcomes, the rising use of big data, the high prevalence of chronic diseases, and the increasing use of smart devices are further contributing to the market's growth.

In addition, the surge in demand for these solutions due to their cost-effectiveness and ease of use, resulting in improved workflow and doctors supporting the adoption of mobility solutions, has a positive impact on the healthcare mobility solutions market. Furthermore, a shortage of nursing personnel increased digitization in the healthcare sector, wireless network penetration, improved healthcare infrastructure, and increased healthcare spending all benefit the healthcare mobility solutions market. Furthermore, in the forecast period, technological advances provide profitable opportunities for healthcare mobility solutions market players. Even though clinical professionals and consumers worldwide choose mobile devices and healthcare apps to track and control healthcare outcomes, the limited ability of mHealth apps to exchange and access information is a minor impediment to the market's rapid expansion. Nonetheless, during the projected period, digitization in healthcare and the demand for patient care management systems are expected to provide a profitable opportunity for the growth of the global healthcare mobility solutions market.

MARKET RESTRAINTS:

Increased data security concerns and a lack of common communication methods and payment policies are projected to hamper the growth of the global healthcare mobility solutions market. In addition, the global healthcare mobility solutions market is further expected to be challenged by infrastructure and financial difficulties and the short battery life of mobile laptops.
