Senior Care 2.0: Digital Health Technologies Transforming Senior Care

This report provides a comprehensive outlook of digital health technologies used to improve the care of the elderly. It also explores solutions seniors could rely on to stay independent for longer.

Senior Care 2.0

The senior care market is poised for major disruption by digital health technologies, with companies developing both software and hardware solutions for people ageing at home as well as those staying at retirement communities.

However, while technologies have been developed, they are still "not there." Most solutions tend to be complicated and many were just rebranded "regular" products for the seniors. Interfaces need to change so that more people could use them.

Nonetheless, the momentum is building and this report looks at what the major companies and startups alike are doing to make people's golden years as enjoyable as possible.

On the other hand, these same technologies provide family members and care providers with an easier way to keep up with their relatives/patients. This report will explore the challenges, goals, technologies and trends in tech-enabled senior care.

Finally, by going through and analyzing various senior care products and services, this report touches upon technologies that have wider use cases, beyond care for the elderly. In that sense, this research brief provides an overview of a bigger market while highlighting those solutions that can have the biggest effects on senior care.

Who should buy this report?

Pharma

You probably already know Big Pharma is investing millions in digital health technologies. After all, it is easier and more affordable to launch a digital therapeutic than develop a brand new drug with all the lab work and trials, let alone regulatory requirements, that come included with a brand new drug launch.

Payors

Digital health apps and services provide insurance companies and other payors with tools they could offer to their customers so they could lead healthier lives. As a result, payors get to save money and offer better, more personalized services - i.e. the more you walk every day, the lower premium you end up paying. Ultimately, such incentives also lead to better outcomes.

Software Developers

The growth of digital health saw many non-traditional players entering the space - software developers being one of them. They see there's money to be made by helping doctors and hospitals digitize their businesses while providing patients with that much better services. This help software developers find their niches in the market and even potential partners.

Job Seekers

Digital health is the industry every job seeker should try to break into. It is growing fast, offering huge opportunities for everyone looking for a great career. The best part is that you don't have to be a software developer - there are job openings across the board, including in marketing, sales, social media, PR, admin, and more.
