Report Overview: Patient Engagement Solutions Market


The global patient engagement solutions market size was estimated at USD 10.7 billion in 2020 and is anticipated to register a CAGR of 16.2% over the forecast period 2021-2027. The market for patient engagement solutions is mainly driven by the increasing utilization of electronic health records for patient-centric care and the adoption of mobile health devices. According to a survey conducted by the NHS in 2019, approximately 92.0% of patients feel assured in self-managing treatment.


Factors such as the growing burden of chronic diseases and a rise in the geriatric population have led to the adoption of patient engagement solutions worldwide. For instance, in 2017, according to CDC statistics, 1.3 million new cases of diabetes were recorded in the U.S. alone. In response to the growing number of diabetic patients, companies are focusing on the development of patient-centric engagement solutions. For example, in June 2019, Allina Health launched a patient-centric engagement solution platform for improving the Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME) program. This enables diabetic self-care clinical services, particularly for those located in remote locations. Moreover, programs such as these help in cost evaluation, operational effectiveness, and clinical outcomes.

Government support is expected to drive the adoption of patient engagement solutions in the coming years. For instance, in 2018, the FDA established the Patient and Caregiver Connection program. The program was aimed to foster engagement with patients, patient advocates, and caregivers throughout the evaluation and surveillance of medical devices.

Furthermore, the adoption of these solutions in developing countries such as India is supported by favorable government initiatives. For instance, in March 2019, Columbia Asia Hospitals situated across Malaysia, India, Indonesia, and Vietnam, launched a patient engagement application suite in collaboration with MphRx. This program is aimed to digitally transform healthcare services and to enhance patient engagement.

The web/cloud-based segment lead the global market in 2019. The adoption of these portals is increasing significantly owing to remote access to real-time data tracking, integrated features, easy accessibility, minimal handling costs, and easy data backup.

Companies are investing in web/cloud-based patient engagement solutions. For instance, in August 2019, Google Cloud partnered with NTT DATA on Next-Gen Healthcare Solutions to improve the patient healthcare experience. This collaboration is aimed at reducing the cost of health plans and costs for providers by creating more efficient operations by changing payment models, technology, and regulations.

On-premise services provide patient data security, easy retrieval of data, and ease of access. The inclination toward on-premise services is primarily due to complete access to the information within the premises.
