Another macroeconomic factor is the increasing penetration of smartphones and internet connectivity. The widespread availability of smartphones and internet access has made it easier for individuals to access digital health solutions, such as mobile health apps and telemedicine services. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has also played a role in driving the growth of the Digital Health market. The pandemic has highlighted the importance of remote healthcare services and has accelerated the adoption of digital health solutions globally. In conclusion, the Digital Health market is growing rapidly due to customer preferences for convenient and accessible healthcare solutions. The adoption of telemedicine services and wearable devices for health monitoring are major trends in the market. Local regulations and infrastructure, as well as underlying macroeconomic factors such as healthcare expenditure and smartphone penetration, also influence the growth of the market.
