Market Dynamics

The U.S. direct to patient market is mainly driven by high demands for healthcare services which offer easy accessibility and convenience to consumers and thus minimize the need for clinical visits. The use of advanced technological tools for the health industry like the use of wearable devices and health applications on cell phones as well as the utilization of cloud computing technology has made healthcare services very convenient and efficient. Moreover, the high costs of accessing health services have pushed many consumers to adopt direct payment methods while healthcare service providers adopt direct to patient to achieve efficiency and effectiveness.
Nonetheless, the market is not without obstacles, which include issues related to data privacy and security, liabilities faced by the providers, as well as the reluctance of conventional health institutions towards telemedicine. The lack of availability of internet connectivity in rural regions and poor levels of digital literacy has been identified as other challenges. Regulatory restrictions related to practicing across state lines and prescribing drugs have been cited as additional issues. However, there are many opportunities that can be realized with the help of collaboration between the technology and service providers, among others.
