Top Impacting Factors
Rise in Awareness Regarding Mobile Health Among People
The rise in the trend of smartphone devices in several sectors and among individuals is directly influencing the growth of the global patient engagement solutions market. In addition, customers have increasingly used their mobile phones for health monitoring, with customers purchasing through mobile applications or mobile-optimized websites. Consequently, patient engagement solutions have gained significant adoption to increase the use of IT and control systems among healthcare operators, particularly smartphone usage and other digital technologies.
In addition, increased use of smartphones and the internet helps consumers to easily access online healthcare platforms, by simply downloading the healthcare related application on their phones. Such ease of access has contributed to the high increasing adoption of patient engagement solutions, which in turn is expected to contribute to the increased installation of patient engagement solutions, globally.
Furthermore, the integration of smartphones and the internet solution enables an effective user experience for patient engagement solutions. Healthcare operators have increasingly presented mobile applications to interact with consumers and offer personalized healthcare experiences. Hence, these multiple benefits offered by smartphones and internet use in healthcare operations are anticipated to boost the demand for the market.
Moreover, several public and private organizations have continuously involved in promoting digitalization in analytical operations. For instance, in June 2023, Maxim Software Systems launched EngageB, a groundbreaking web application designed to transform patient engagement in dental clinics, which in turn, augments the market growth on a global scale.
Extensive Investments Required for Healthcare Infrastructure
The major challenge for the growth of global patient engagement solutions is high implementation and maintenance costs. The initial expenses associated with implementing patient engagement solutions generally relate to purchasing the program, setting up the infrastructure, and integrating it into current healthcare systems. These costs can vary based on the size of the organization, the complexity of the infrastructure, and the level of modification required.
In addition, patient engagement solutions often come with licensing or membership fees. These expenses are expected to be recurring, such as monthly or annual subscriptions, or one-time expense for ongoing licenses. This increase in upfront installation costs have restrained the adoption of patient engagement solutions across the globe. Furthermore, the integration of highly sophisticated technologies and components to provide efficient, reliable, and safe services.
However, these sophisticated technologies and equipment are expensive, and the design, development, and implementation of security systems involve high costs, which would be the major restraining factor for the growth of the global market. In addition, these technically advanced systems entail a combination of electronic components and several subsystems to offer real-time patient data to the business authority. It usually costs billions of dollars and more installation time compared to the conventional system, which leads to less preference among security operators. Therefore, both the cost and time, which are required for the installation and development of healthcare technologies in patient engagement solutions would prove to be the major obstacle to this market growth across the globe.
High Complexity Associated with the Integration of Advanced Solutions with Existing Healthcare Infrastructure Components
Integration complexities of patient engagement solutions are the key constraints for the growth of the global market. Businesses frequently utilize a range of apps and software using various technologies. The process of integrating a patient engagement solution can be complicated since it may need to operate with several platforms, databases, and technologies.
Furthermore, while patient engagement solutions offer numerous benefits such as flexibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness, organizations and individuals often hesitate to fully adopt patient engagement solutions due to its adoption challenges to the user. Appropriate change management techniques are needed to guarantee user acceptability while introducing a new patient engagement solution. It may take some time to provide the new system with training and support. These threats cause business operations to be restricted in an unplanned manner, which negatively impacts punctuality and the allocation of resources in patient engagement solutions.
Moreover, patient engagement solutions may involve data being stored and processed in different geographic locations, which raises concerns about data residency and jurisdictional requirements. Thus, such measures have hindered the growth of the patient engagement solutions market.
