IMPLICAT IONS FOR RESE ARCH AND PAT IENT CARE DECEMBER2 0 2 4 Introduction Digital health companies have faced headwinds overthe past few years. Startups have seen reduced fundinginflows while companies with approved products havestruggled to grow revenue and expand their user base.Some have gone bankrupt. However, innovation hasremained strong and new digital health products todiagnose, treat and remotely monitor patients are nowlaunching into a more mature global marketplace withan expanding number of approval and reimbursementpathways that offer improved chances of future success.Developers are also combining individual product typesinto “solutions” with both patient and physician-facinginterfaces that increase the case for health systemadoption. In the research space, biopharma companieshave been using wearable sensors and digital measuresin drug trials to better understand drug benefits andreduce risk. AI-informed digital platforms that are now helpingproviders globally improve outcomes for patients withchronic diseases. For the first time, we also examine theuptake of these solutions in the marketplace drawing onvarious IQVIA data sources. A follow-up to this report, to be released in early 2025,will then look across segments to examine how businessstrategies are shifting in the pursuit of revenue, thepathways digital products are taking to reach the marketand gain reimbursement, and how payer evidencerequirements and government policies are shiftingglobally and may influence adoption. The study was produced independently by theIQVIA Institute for Human Data Science as a publicservice, without industry or government funding.The contributions to this report of Salma Ajraoui,Oliver Bailey, Kate Bennet, Anna Exenberger, MatthewHackenberg, Michael Krupnick, Nadea Leavitt, BrianLovinguth, Christopher Ludwig, Nicholas Mageras, SaraPawley, Maximilian Peters, Covadonga Fernández delPozo, Tapan Raval, Brinda Sriskantha, Erika Szewkies,Ainhoa Uribarren and dozens of others at IQVIA aregratefully acknowledged. This report examines trends across various segmentsof the digital health market, which are becomingincreasingly defined. We examine digital diagnosticsalongside maturing therapeutic product segments likedigital therapeutics (DTx) and digital care (DCs) andlook at consumer apps and non-prescription digitaltherapeutics that aim to reduce health symptoms.We also examine how life sciences companies arestrategically deploying wearable sensors and otherpatient monitoring tools in research.

Recently-launched apps also help those with visual impairments,auditory issues and dermatologic conditions. Withincreased competition in most categories and continuedcommercial headwinds, new health app entrants facechallenges to grow and differentiate themselves in themarket. Even for high quality apps uptake is relativelyslow. While some notable consumer apps attain 420,000installs on average after five years, disease managementapps see only about 90,000 installs, although newerapps appear to be growing more quickly. Apps withstronger clinical evidence have seen higher rates ofuse and more rapid uptake, indicating that evidencegeneration is now increasingly important for consumeradoption and commercial success.
