The global remote patient monitoring market is estimated to reach USD 1.9 billion mark by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 12.7% during the forecast period from 2020 to 2026. The role of remote patient monitoring systems in monitoring and management of chronic diseases is proven and well-established. The introduction of novel systems with alert systems and tracking has made the position of remote monitors more vital in the field of healthcare. As the global geriatric population base is increasing consistently, it is anticipated that the pool of non-communicable disease patients will also increase in-tow. Favorable government initiatives and support programs will assist the growth of this market. Furthermore, it is also witnessed that in order to reduce the duration of hospital stays, patients are either moved to post-acute care centers or home care. In such cases, remote monitoring devices have become incumbent for ensuring optimum self-health management.
Management of chronic and non-communicable diseases form over 75% of the healthcare expenditure, with conditions such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and obesity topping the charts. Healthcare services providers are leveraging the power of remote monitoring for collecting vital patient statistics for ensuring prompt services through tools such as telemedicine as well as to make quick and appropriate treatment plan. Such streamlining in healthcare through remote patient monitoring allows healthcare personnel early intervention even before the patient experiences life-threatening complications.
Elective wellness is becoming the most popular trend among consumers, as more and more individuals are becoming health conscious and are believing in preventive healthcare. Fitness trackers and heart rate monitors form among the most prominent form of remote care devices which have surpassed the barrier of being used only for clinical purposes. The senescent population is also contributing to the growing demand for remote patient monitoring systems, as this set of population is highly vulnerable to develop chronic illnesses and their age challenges them in terms of care access.

The technology of remote patient monitoring relied of dependable and secure networks and internet connection for transferring patient data from implants, and other devices to user interfaces. For many devices including the sophisticated continuous glucose monitors, the patients and care givers can have real time access to patient data through apps. This assists and empowers the patients to take the onus of their own health and allow healthcare personnel to devise an appropriate treatment plan and detect potential issues before emergencies.
Without reliable internet connections or networks, patients data cannot be efficiently and seamlessly transmitted, which means that the patients will need to manually alert the healthcare providers. Therefore, penetration of remote patient monitoring devices still remains a major challenge in rural and remote locations where the use of apps, internet and other connections is limited. Additionally, cybersecurity is also another prime concern for healthcare providers. The providers should adhere to HIPAA regulations for access and transmission of patient data.
Among the different vital signs monitors and specialty monitors, heart rate monitors is high, and the trend shall continue through the forecast period. Heart rate monitors are identified as prominent segment due to the growing patient pool for cardiovascular diseases. The growth in the number of patients with heart diseases has therefore led to high adoption of heart rate monitors in the global market. The market share of special monitors is also significantly high despite their moderate volume because of their high prices and sophisticated technologies. These devices and systems are capable of monitoring critical clinical data pre- and post- surgical intervention, and prevent complications or emergencies through prompt identification of symptoms. Based on applications, cardiovascular diseases segment occupies the largest market share in the base year 2019.
Between institutional and home care segments, institutional care segments takes the larger revenue share in the global market. High patient footfall and greater purchasing power of institutions enables the prominent position of this segment. Additionally, the home care segment is anticipated to garner rapid growth during the forecast period.
Based on regional demarcation, the global remote patient monitoring market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Middle East & Africa.
