Abstract
Global healthcare market is evolving from traditional healthcare system to
modern healthcare system of E-health which minimizes the physical movement of
patients and enhances the coverage of healthcare services. As the world
population is aging, it has resulted in increase of global healthcare
expenditure. The major increase in healthcare expenditure is being witnessed
in developed nations where population is ageing at a higher pace compared to
less developed nations. Aging population has resulted in increase in demand of
healthcare services which is already in an over-pressurized state.
It is now believed that telemedicine is going to be an important component of
the modern healthcare system which will ease the pressure over the existing
healthcare system which is suffering from problems like lack of required
number of physicians, high cost and limited reach in the rural areas.
Telemedicine, being a component of E-health, is a provision of healthcare
services that uses telecommunication technology and multimedia equipment to
provide healthcare solutions over a geographic distance.
The global telemedicine market has grown rapidly during the last five years as
a result of increase in global healthcare expenditure. The market is all set
to witness high growth in the coming years too as a result of growing world
population, rise in life expectancy, increasing per capita GDP, increase in
internet penetration rate and increasing health expenditure in emerging
economies.
However, the telemedicine market is also facing challenges like reimbursement
by third party payers, concerns about Security and Privacy, and lack of common
standards & classification.
The companies like Siemens AG, Community Health Systems, AGFA-Gevaert NV and
Fresenius SE have shifted their attention to the telemedicine market as these
companies believe that there is huge untapped market potential.
The report analyzes the global telemedicine market with focus on the US and
EU. It also discusses the key trends, growth drivers and challenges prevalent
in the market. The report also profiles the major market players with a
discussion of their key business strategies.
By combining SPSS Inc.' s data integration and analysis capabilities
with our relevant findings, we have predicted the future growth of the
industry. We employed various significant variables that have an impact on
this industry and created regression models with SPSS Base to determine the
future direction of the industry. Before deploying the regression model, the
relationship between several independent or predictor variables and the
dependent variable was analyzed using standard SPSS output, including charts,
tables and tests.
