Home Healthcare Market

KEY FACTORS SHAPING THE HOME HEALTHCARE MARKET

Shift from Specialists to Self-care, Hospitals to Home Care, and Relationship-based Homecare Model

Introduction of portable devices and easy to use products has triggered the shift from healthcare settings to homecare settings in order to increase daily dose medication among elderly people while staying at home. This is leading to more services taking place in the traditional healthcare settings.  Patients with remote access to data through smart insulin pens manage their own insulin levels at home without the need of visiting a doctor, thus, managing the overall cost. This also allows physicians to remotely monitor the patients’ health ensuring effective communication between caregiver and patient.

Relationship-based home care aims at healthy and independent care recipients simultaneously addressing acute needs. Relationship-based home care offers umpteen benefits to geriatrics and disabled. Such transitions from specialist to self-care, hospital to homecare and further improvement in quality of care through relationship-based homecare models are fueling the adoption of homecare services. This in turn will support the growth of home healthcare market.

That said, the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is dampening the adoption of home healthcare. Countrywide lockdowns, and self-isolation regulations have put a strain on homecare service organizations. In addition, shortage of raw materials and labor has compelled manufacturers to leave their production units on temporary standstills. However, the home healthcare market is poised for a rapid recovery after the pandemic subsides.

Rising Demand for Medication Adherence

Aged patients, particularly those suffering from multiple chronic conditions usually have complex medication regimens. Majority of elderly patients, particularly those with dementia, find it difficult to follow regular treatment regimes. Non-adherence to treatment regime results in a negative impact on health further leading to discomfort that can be easily avoided. Adherence to a prescribed regimen is vital to maintaining health of such patients to manage chronic conditions and support daily activities.

Medication non-adherence costs the UK’s National Health Service an estimated £500 million per year. According to the WHO, increasing the effectiveness of adherence interventions have a far greater impact on population health compared to any improvement in specific medical treatments. Homecare services offer greater medication adherence, thus are witnessing soaring adoption.

Advances in In-home Technology

Upcoming advances in medical technology for homecare setting have the potential to help foster community-based independence for patients. Homecare services provide patients with greater independence, which is among the key priorities of elderly and disabled patients. The past decade has witnessed scores of innovation in homecare for patients, resulting in reduced emergency room visits and costly nursing home stays.

Among the most common advancements is the remote patient monitoring (RPM), wherein home healthcare transmit key patient information such as vital signs to their care providers. Fueled by high patient demand, home healthcare will undoubtedly continue to evolve rapidly through the forecast period. Advancements in technology will increase the adoption of homecare services thereby propelling the growth of the market for home healthcare.
