The escalating need for remote healthcare services through mobile phones is significantly contributing to the growth of the wireless healthcare market. The ability to access healthcare remotely via mobile devices not only offers the cost efficiency of telehealth due to lesser equipment needs, but also boosts the advantages of remote patient monitoring (RPM), easing the workload of medical professionals. Additionally, smartphones allow physicians to access patients' records and documents. For example, as per The Health Foundation, a charitable organization in the UK, in a survey conducted by the Commonwealth Fund in 2023, the UK and Australia surpassed other nations in implementing remote consultations for primary care. Roughly 37% of respondents in the UK confirmed availing some sort of remote virtual care or telehealth in the previous year. Hence, the surging demand for remote healthcare services via mobile phones is propelling the expansion of the wireless healthcare market.
