The Need for Home Healthcare Software Is Increasing For the Aging Population

Posted by Sachin CMI on January 5th, 2021

Home health care software (also known as home health software or home care software) falls under the broad category of healthcare information technology. Healthcare IT is the application of information processing related to both computer software and hardware that deals with sharing, retrieval, storage, and use of healthcare info, data, and knowledge for communication and decision making. Home healthcare is a broad segment consisting of various software, products, and services, which are provided at the patients' homes. Over the years, home healthcare software has become increasingly popular due to the shift of treatment from hospitals to homes to save expenses and achieve cost-effectiveness. Moreover, this trend has been observed worldwide.

Asian countries such as China, India, and Japan show a high demand for home healthcare, as they have a growing age population. In 2019, it is estimated that 60.1% of the world's older population lives in the Asia Pacific region, while the region constitutes 59.4% of the world's total population. The number of elderly persons is expected to grow from 548 million in 2019 to around 1.3 billion by 2050. North America is also expected to witness constant growth as reimbursement is offered on specific devices and health policies in the United States.
