Juniper Research is out with a new report titled “Mobile Healthcare Opportunities: Monitoring, Applications & mHealth Strategies 2010-2014.” In it, they forecast that revenues from remote patient monitoring using mobile networks will rise to almost $1.9 billion globally by 2014. Heart based monitoring in the US will account for the bulk of early mobile monitoring roll-outs.
Other areas which will contribute to mHealth revenues include Fitness and Healthcare smartphone apps and eventually advanced apps that link in to sensors worn on the body.
Further findings from the report include:
