Customer preferences: Customers in Sudan are increasingly turning to digital health solutions for convenience and accessibility. With the rise of smartphones and internet penetration in the region, individuals are seeking ways to monitor their health, consult with healthcare professionals remotely, and access digital treatment options.

Trends in the market: In Sudan, there is a noticeable trend towards the adoption of digital fitness and well-being applications. People are becoming more health-conscious and are looking for ways to track their fitness goals, monitor their diet, and improve their overall well-being through digital platforms. The convenience of accessing workout routines, nutritional advice, and mental health resources on their smartphones is driving this trend. Online doctor consultation services are also gaining traction in Sudan. The limited number of healthcare facilities in certain areas, coupled with the challenges of transportation, make online consultations a convenient alternative for many Sudanese. The ability to receive medical advice, prescriptions, and follow-up care from the comfort of their homes is appealing to patients. Moreover, the digital treatment and care segment in Sudan is witnessing growth as more healthcare providers and patients embrace telemedicine solutions. This trend is particularly beneficial for individuals with chronic conditions who require regular monitoring and management. The convenience of remote consultations, electronic health records, and digital prescriptions is transforming the healthcare landscape in the country.

Local special circumstances: Sudan's healthcare system faces challenges such as limited access to quality healthcare services, especially in rural areas, and a shortage of healthcare professionals. The adoption of digital health technologies is helping to bridge some of these gaps by enabling remote consultations, improving health monitoring, and facilitating access to medical information.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: The growing digital health market in Sudan is also influenced by macroeconomic factors such as increasing smartphone penetration, expanding internet connectivity, and a young population that is tech-savvy. These factors create a conducive environment for the adoption of digital health solutions and are driving the market's growth in the country.
