Strategic Intelligence Monitor on Personal Health Systems phase 2 (SIMPHS 2)
Market developments – Remote Patient Monitoring and Treatment, Telecare, Fitness/Wellness & mHealth
This deliverable aims to provide an overview of market developments in RMT as well as in the new areas of Telecare, mobile Health, Wellness, fitness and independent living, based on the review of market reports acquired from market research companies and other sources like industry newsletters.
In addition this report also contains an updated and expanded overview of companies active in the IPHS market with short company/product/services description including market strategy information and geographical focus where appropriate. We started from the sample of 50 companies identified in SIMPHS1 which has been selected out of a total of 200 companies involved in eHealth. These 50+ companies fulfilled four criteria:
- The company played a significant role on the PHS market
- The company had a clear European focus
- The overall sample covered as many products and services as possible
- The overall sample covered all parts of the PHS value chain.
As we checked the 50 companies again we decided to take some of them out of the list because of their limited relevance in the broader context of IPHS and included instead more than 50 new companies that help convey a more accurate picture of the whole range of products and services available in IPHS, thus addressing prevention, fitness/wellness and telecare offerings besides RMT/Telehealth. The companies selected also help identify market developments such as consolidation, internationalisation strategy, partnerships and emerging business models as well as strategies adopted to enter new market segments and capitalise on successes to expand market revenues. A number of companies included in the review are located in the US, a few in Japan/Asia, but we deemed it important to include them alongside European companies as they are often market leaders in their segment, do not work in isolation but partner with other companies thus selling on European markets and contributing to market innovation and growth. In addition, the production of medical or fitness related devices are often outsourced to original equipment manufacturers (OEM) in Asia and subsequently integrated by European companies offering IPHS under their own brand. Hence ignoring market participants from other regions would give a distorted picture of what is going on.
