Why North America Patient Engagement Solutions Market is Witnessing Growth

Due to growing healthcare expenses, increasing demand for better healthcare infrastructure, surging geriatric population, and more incidents of chronic diseases, the adoption rate of patient engagement solutions is projected to witness significant growth. The North American patient engagement solutions market generated $3.9 billion in 2017 and is expected to witness a CAGR of 15.8% during the forecast period 2018–2023. Patient engagement refers to the process of establishing communication between patients and their healthcare providers online.

With smooth connectivity, the sharing of medical history, doctor appointments, treatment schedule, medication prescriptions, and lab reports has become extremely easy. Patients are more concerned about their personal information and comfort today compared to the past. Nowadays, they demand technologies that can consolidate all their medical information in one place and help them access and share it whenever and from wherever they want. This is why the patient engagement solutions market in North America has been progressing.

The major factors driving the growth of the North American patient engagement solutions market are rising demand for better healthcare infrastructure and increasing spending on healthcare. In addition, the surging geriatric population and growing prevalence of chronic diseases are also contributing in this regard. According to the UN publication “World Population Ageing 2017”, around 78.4 million people in North America in 2017 were 60 years old or older, and the number is estimated to reach 122.8 million by 2050.

There is no doubt that elderly people need extensive care, as they are more prone to chronic diseases, such as cancer and diabetes. According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), around 1,688,780 new cases of cancer were diagnosed in the U.S. in 2017. Similarly, the Foundation for AIDS Research (amfAR) reported that in 2016, almost 1.1 million people in North America were suffering from AIDS. With an increasing number of elderly or even comparatively young people prone to such chronic diseases, who are demanding patient engagement solutions, the patient engagement solutions market in North America is predicted to advance in the future.

Further, government initiatives toward promoting patient engagement programs are also taking the North America patient engagement solutions market forward. For instance, under the EHR Incentive programs, the U.S. government offers healthcare providers incentives to encourage the adoption of electronic health records (EHRs). Similarly, the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act seeks to revolutionize the methods, in which doctors treating Medicare patients (aged 65 or above) are paid. Under this act, doctors are paid based on the level of care they provide rather than the number of patients they treat, and how well they utilize EHRs.

Thus, we see that owing to conducive government policies and increasing incidents of chronic diseases in the elderly, the market is predicted to witness steady progress.

How is Rising Incidence of Burn Injuries Contributing in Skin Replacement and Substitutes Market Growth?

A World Health Organization (WHO) study presented the statistics regarding burn injuries in 2018, which mentioned that every year, about 180,000 people succumb to burn injuries, with majority of the incidents occurring in low- and middle-income countries. Additionally, burns are considered to be among the leading causes of disability-adjusted life years in these countries. One example is of India where more than 1,000,000 people suffer from moderate to severe burn injuries every year. Furthermore, in nations, such as Pakistan, Egypt, Colombia, and Bangladesh, about 18% children become permanently differently abled and about 17% become differently-abled due to burn injuries.

As these injuries result in extensive skin damage, one of the most important ways to treat them is to use the skin replacement and substitutes. These are referred to as a skin graft, for which, the skin is collected from a suitable site and then transplanted on to the affected area of the recipient’s body. This is done to encourage the regeneration of the affected tissue and the formation of new functional skin. These substitutes are majorly available as cellular and acellular products.

During 2014–2018, acellular skin replacement and substitutes were the most popular. In fact, in the coming time as well, they would continue to witness the highest demand. These products consist of acellular components, such as collagen or nylon mesh, which act as a silicon membrane and a dermis. Further, they contain biological matrix and biologically-processed matrix. Besides being suitable for skin replacement in pediatric population, these products can be used to treat superficial as well as excised wounds. A P&S Intelligence study has predicted the skin replacement and substitutes market to advance at a 6.3% CAGR in the coming years.

With the increasing knowledge about medical sciences, it has been established that the skin grafts taken from one individual, when administered into the other, may trigger a fatal immune response. To take care of this, extensive research has been going on in the biomedical field for the development of bio-engineered skin. One of the methods that have been effective in skin regeneration is by using skin scaffolds, which are essentially 3D structures that are seeded with keratinocytes and placed at the wound site. This would help in providing protection against microorganisms, toxins, and other harmful agents. Some popular products that have already been developed and market are Dermagraft, Transcyte, and AlloDerm.
