more services remotely over a
smartphone app.
WHAT ARE HEALTHCARE APPS FOR?
3. $105 billion
That’s how much the healthcare app industry is expected to be by 2030, from its current
valuation at $38 billion as of Mar-2021. The userbase of healthcare apps also grew by a
whopping 60% during the Covid-19 pandemic. And the more interesting part is that these apps
continue to grow even in the post-pandemic phase. This makes the mHealth (mobile-Health)
industry an attractive investment for both investors and entrepreneurs.
5. TELEHEALTH
These apps provide remote
consultation with doctors and
medical professionals over
phone or video call. Even
though there are already so
many telehealth apps, more are
coming about every day, which
is a testament to this promising
sector.
Example - Teladoc
6. DRUGS DELIVERY
These apps deliver medicine at
doorstep. Some drug delivery
apps also provide 10-minute
drug delivery service for
emergency needs. As people
are already accustomed to
shopping online, a drugs
delivery app is a sure shot for a
profitable business.
Example – NowRx
7. MENTAL HEALTH
COUNSELLING
These apps provide remote
counselling over chat, phone,
and/or video. There has also
been an increased academic
interest in predictive mental
health diagnosis to identify
patients at risk. An app which
can put this research into real-
world application also seems
like a great idea.
8. FITNESS APPS
All major sports and sports
shoes companies e.g., Nike and
Adidas today have a fitness app.
These apps help in workout
training and track your physical
activity for recommendations.
There is also nutrition app that
helps plan your diet.
Example – Adidas Training,
Generis
10. DIAGNOSTICS APP
Imagine apps that provide
doorstep diagnostic services
such as sample collection,
report delivery, blood pressure
measurement, and other
medical services which can be
delivered at home. Some
diagnostics already offer
doorstep diagnostics services
but there is no app that works
across different states.
11. MEDICAL RECORDS
& DATABASE APP
Imagine an app that stores all
your past diagnostics and
prescription records safely in a
digital format, so you never lose
them and is easily available for
doctors for cross-reference.
There has been such early-age
initiatives in this in India, so it is
left up to someone to grab this
opportunity to be the pioneer.
12. ELDERLY PATIENT
SERVICES
Healthcare services for elderly
patients such as remote tracking
of health metrics, remote
consultation, and emergency
services is a neglected area in the
market. There is a real need for
such services.
13. GAMIFICATION
Imagine an app which makes
health and nutrition education
fun. Wouldn’t kids and some
adults love that? There has been
such initiatives in personal
finance education but nothing
yet in health education, which
leaves it for someone to try.
