Abstract
This report analyzes the emerging technologies and their applications in the
healthcare industry. It focuses on products and services that help consumers
manage healthcare at home through advanced communication tools,
self-diagnostic devices, and home-monitoring appliances. The report examines
incentives, regulatory and reimbursement issues, and the drivers and barriers
for the implementation of home-based care services. It also includes player
profiles and a future roadmap.
"With the recent advances in healthcare technologies and improvements in
communications infrastructure at home, home healthcare could evolve from a
sporadic practice today to a mainstream care delivery model in the next 5- 10
years," said Harry Wang, research Analyst at Parks Associates. "New home-based
healthcare services will be consumer-centric and technology driven. We may be
on the verge of finding a good solution to reduce healthcare costs while
improving overall care quality."
