Global Home Health Hubs Market to Reach $2.4 Billion by 2026

Home Health Hub, also referred to as home health gateway, is a specially designed healthcare IT platform that collects comprehensive patient data from peripheral devices through a wireless connection, and transmits the collected data to the Remote Medical Care Center. Home Health Hub solutions use wireless connectivity to gather and aggregate patient data from disparate sources such as from standalone health and wellness devices, connected home medical monitoring systems, and wearable devices, and function as the fastest approach to connect patient and physician through real-time communication in the form of video conferencing, instant messaging or voice communication. The home health hub platform enables implementing remote diagnostics, and treatment and preventive care programs for the most widespread health problems. Health problems dealt with Home health hub solutions include cardiological diseases (including ischaemic heart disease, arrhythmias, circulatory insufficiency, arterial hypertension) respiratory diseases, kidney diseases, diabetes, thyroid gland malfunctions, motor activity disturbances (loss of balance, falls, fainting), chronic pains, cognitive function disturbances of different intensity and origin, vision deterioration, hearing impairment, iatrogenic faults, behavioral disorders, and depression, among others.

Amid the COVID-19 crisis, the global market for Home Health Hubs estimated at US$357.4 Million in the year 2020, is projected to reach a revised size of US$2.4 Billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 35.8% over the analysis period.

Factors such as rising focus on curtailing healthcare costs, increased need to enhance the accessibility and affordability of healthcare services, government initiatives aimed at improving the quality of care delivered to patients, and emphasis on minimizing patient readmissions, are favoring wider adoption of home health hub solutions, globally. Increased emphasis on remote patient monitoring along with growing relevance of IoT, big data and cloud computing concepts in patient care programs, is another major factor contributing to robust demand for HHH solutions. Furthermore, rising demand for home care solutions, particularly among elderly patients requiring long-term care and adult patients suffering from accidents or illnesses, is instigating broad-based opportunities. Market growth is also being driven by sheer shortage of healthcare professionals and emphasis on reducing patient inflow through novel and advanced medical technologies. Increased investments on `Smart Home` and `Home Automation` represent another major market driver. Although, Smart Home emphasizes smart security and smart energy monitoring, healthcare also remains a relevant area within the Smart Home ecosystem. Smart homes typically support easy deployment of Internet of Health Things (IoHT), where home health hub has a significant role.

Standalone solutions, the hardware systems with embedded software, constitute the largest segment in the home health hub market. Shift of point-of-care (POC) diagnostics to home care settings from hospital-based care, and increasing work burden on healthcare settings are contributing to increased deployments of standalone home health hub solutions. On the other hand, mobile home health hubs, the downloadable apps that reside on the smartphone, tablet, smart watch or other mobile and wearable devices, continue to exhibit fast paced growth. Widespread use of smartphone and wearables in home care settings has a greater role in steering overall momentum in mobile home health hubs market.
