COVID-19 had unprecedented consequences on daily lives and the global economy. A significant burden is formed on healthcare systems across the globe. Providers, payers, and life science companies started looking for solutions to increase patient engagement in various settings, such as remote home monitoring, virtual consultations, and clinical trials. Pandemic and the resulting movement restrictions propelled the need to facilitate virtual communication between customers and their care providers. This led to a surge in demand for patient engagement solutions during 2020. This growth, however, was observed to have dampened during 2021, and the market is anticipated to grow notably at a steady rate over the forecast period.

The COVID-19 outbreak has encouraged innovations in patient monitoring and cloud computing. For instance, in April 2020, GE Healthcare announced an innovative cloud-based remote-monitoring tool to assist clinicians looking after ventilated COVID-19 patients. A growing number of smartphone users around the globe expedited the adoption of mHealth across the sector, both from providers and consumers. Healthcare apps are rising, and they are easy to download on smartphones. These apps can be connected with wearable devices, and they support the users in overall health management, which, in turn, has augmented the dependability of patients on mHealth apps. Thus, COVID-19 pandemic is anticipated to play a substantial role in digital transformation.
