Analyst Opinion

The Digital Treatment & Care market in Seychelles is witnessing significant growth and development, driven by various factors shaping the healthcare landscape in the country.

Customer preferences: Customers in Seychelles are increasingly turning to digital solutions in the healthcare sector due to the convenience and accessibility they offer. The younger population, in particular, is more inclined towards using digital treatment and care options for managing their health and well-being.

Trends in the market: In Seychelles, there is a growing demand for contraception/fertility apps as individuals seek more control over their reproductive health. Medication checker apps are also gaining popularity among the elderly population to ensure safe medication practices. Online pharmacies are becoming increasingly popular due to the ease of ordering medication from the comfort of one's home. Additionally, smart devices such as thermometers, blood glucose meters, and blood pressure monitors are being embraced for remote health monitoring. Social alarms are also seeing increased adoption, especially among the elderly or individuals with specific health conditions, for immediate assistance during emergencies.

Local special circumstances: Seychelles, being an archipelago with dispersed population centers, faces challenges in providing healthcare services to remote areas. The digital treatment and care market presents an opportunity to bridge this gap by offering telemedicine services and remote monitoring solutions. The government's focus on improving healthcare infrastructure and services further supports the growth of digital health solutions in the country.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: The increasing internet penetration and smartphone usage in Seychelles are key drivers of the digital treatment and care market. As more people gain access to the internet, the adoption of digital health solutions is expected to rise. Moreover, the government's initiatives to promote digital healthcare and invest in technology infrastructure are creating a conducive environment for the growth of the market. Economic stability and rising disposable incomes also play a role in driving the demand for digital treatment and care services in Seychelles.
