세계 환자 참여 솔루션 시장 규모는 2024년 412억 달러에 달했습니다. IMARC Group은 2033년까지 시장 규모가 1,404억 달러에 달하고, 2025-2033년 14.46%의 연평균 성장률(CAGR)을 보일 것으로 전망하고 있습니다. 환자 권한 부여를 목표로 하는 여러 프로그램과 규칙을 포함한 고객 중심 치료의 특성은 e-헬스 솔루션의 인기가 높아짐에 따라 시장 성장을 이끄는 주요 요인 중 일부입니다.
환자 중심적 접근 증가 추세
환자 중심의 의료가 시행되면서 의사는 환자와의 소통을 추구하게 되었습니다. 의료 서비스 제공업체는 환자를 적극적으로 참여시키고, 의료 의사결정과 치료 계획의 일부로 참여시키는 것이 중요하다는 것을 인식하고 있습니다. 헬스케어 분야의 참여 도구는 환자에게 힘을 실어주고, 의료 서비스 제공업체가 환자의 의료 서비스 참여 의지를 충족시킬 수 있도록 돕습니다. 이와 더불어, 환자 중심 진료는 의료 제공업체, 환자, 그리고 환자를 돌보는 사람들 간의 효과적인 의사소통 과정을 위한 자리를 마련합니다. 예를 들어, 헬스케어 업계에서는 의료 제공업체가 환자의 건강 성과에 따라 보상을 받는 가치 기반 진료 시스템으로 전환하고 있습니다. 권한이 부여된 환자는 만족하고 건강해지며, 그 결과 의료 성과가 개선되고 의료 비용이 절감됩니다. 2021년에는 85%만이 적절한 정보나 기술 등의 용도이 제공된다면 자신의 건강에 자신감을 갖고 대처할 수 있다고 응답했습니다. 이는 환자 참여 솔루션 시장 점유율을 더욱 높이고 있습니다.
디지털 헬스 기술 활용 확대
스마트폰, 웨어러블 기기, 커넥티드 헬스 기기 등 디지털 헬스 기술은 환자들에게 의료 서비스 및 의료진과의 상호작용을 위한 다양한 플랫폼을 제공합니다. 환자 참여 솔루션은 이러한 다양한 기술을 통해 환자들이 의료진과 소통하고, 건강 정보를 얻고, 건강 상태를 모니터링할 수 있는 쉽고 편안한 방법을 제공합니다. 예를 들어, Financial Express의 기사에 따르면, 2022년 1월부터 2023년 7월까지 2형 당뇨병(T2DM) 환자의 76.1%가 mySugr 앱을 사용했으며, 블루투스를 통해 혈당측정기를 앱에 연결했습니다. 이 사용자들은 더 자주 혈당을 모니터링하고, 복약 순응도를 개선하고, 당뇨병 관리에 대한 전반적인 인식이 높아졌습니다고 주장합니다. 디지털 헬스 기술이 대중화되면 이러한 기술을 통합적으로 활용할 수 있는 환자 참여 솔루션에 대한 수요가 급증할 것입니다. 또한, 이러한 통합은 임상의에게 환자의 건강 상태를 원격으로 모니터링하고 즉각적인 개입을 제공하며 만성 질환을 더 잘 관리할 수 있는 기회를 제공합니다.
기술 발전
인공지능(AI)과 머신러닝(ML)의 최신 혁신은 환자와 환자 참여를 위한 솔루션과의 연결을 변화시키고 있습니다. 이러한 기술은 복잡성 분석, 예측 모델링, 환자 데이터에 기반한 개입을 가능하게 합니다. AI 기반 챗봇과 가상 비서는 개인화된 건강 팁을 채택하고, 환자의 질문에 답하고, 고객에게 적시에 가이드를 제공합니다. 머신러닝 시스템은 많은 환자 데이터를 조사하여 패턴, 추세, 위험 문제를 파악하여 맞춤형 치료 전략과 조기 발견에 도움을 줄 수 있습니다. Financial Express에 게재된 기사에 따르면, 보스턴컨설팅그룹(BCG)과 B Capital이 실시한 조사에 따르면, 인도의 디지털 헬스케어는 2030년까지 10배인 370억 달러 규모의 산업으로 성장할 것으로 예측했습니다. 이는 향후 몇 년 동안 환자 참여 솔루션 시장 예측에 더욱 박차를 가할 것으로 예측됩니다.
