• The market size of patient-centric healthcare apps is predicted to exponentially rise in the coming years, reaching a value of $105.44 billion by 2029 with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 38.1%.
This growth over the projected period can be credited to the broadening of telemedicine, integration of IoT devices, personalized therapy regimens, forecasted health analytics, and the use of blockchain for protecting data.

The surge in demand for telehealth and mobile health services is anticipated to spur the expansion of the patient-centric healthcare app market. These services utilize telecommunication technologies, such as video calls, mobile apps, and remote tracking devices, to deliver healthcare services and enable remote access to medical information. Various patient-centric healthcare apps incorporate these services to offer accessible and convenient healthcare. They provide services like remote consultations, urgent care and triage, mental health assistance, collection of patient-provided health and behavioral indicators, and emphasize management objectives. For instance, the Supportive Care ABA, a home healthcare agency from the US, reported in March 2023 that between 13% to 17% of US patients were using telehealth services in 2021, amounting to 24.2 million persons in 2021 and increasing to 27.6 million by 2022. Additionally, according to Vicert d.o.o., a digital health solutions software company based in the US, in December 2022, 62% of smartphone holders had health apps in 2022, 77% of adults accessed health information, and 3,50,000 mobile health apps were available. Thus, the increasing demand for telehealth and mobile health services is propelling the expansion of the patient-centric healthcare app market.
