サマリー

携帯端末が幅広く普及したことで、多くのアプリケーションや産業の注目を集めている。銀行業務、支払、ギャンブル、メディア、ソーシャルネットワーキング、位置情報サービスなどの多くのアプリケーションが、人気、柔軟性、所有者の親近性の高さから、携帯端末へと移行した。医療産業も医療サービスも、これらと同様である。しかし、医療産業が直面する問題や携帯端末への移行の動機はさまざまである。幅広いアプローチが検討され、試行されており、携帯産業と医療プロバイダの対話も進んでいる。この調査レポートは、医療業界がすでに成し遂げた成果と今後5年間の可能性を検討している。携帯端末にダウンロードして使用するアプリケーションの可能性と、超低電力の接続による携帯端末への無線搭載のウエアラブルデバイスの可能性という、2つの主要な基準による市場の成長とその可能性について査定している。スポーツ、安心、ヘルスケアのアプリケーションに使用する携帯端末の市場と、ダウンロードできるスポーツとヘルスケアアプリケーションの市場と、携帯端末に接続するウエアラブルデバイスの可能性を評価している。携帯電話は幅広い関連サービスも提供しているが、SMSベースの情報やアポイントアラート、勧誘や緊急通報の電話などはこの調査レポートの対象外である。

The reach and ubiquity of mobile handsets is a magnet for many applications and industries. Banking, payments, gaming, media, social networking, location-based services, and many other applications have transitioned to the device because of its popularity, its flexibility, and its almost permanent proximity to its owner. As an industry and as a service, healthcare is no different. However, the issues that the healthcare industry faces and the motives for leveraging mobile handsets are in many ways unique. A range of approaches are being examined and trialed and a growing dialog between the mobile industry and healthcare providers is taking place.

This report examines the achievements the healthcare industry has made so far and the potential for the following five years. The report examines the growth and potential in this market driven by two key criteria: the ability to download applications to mobile handsets and the potential for wireless-enabled wearable devices to connect to mobile handsets using ultra low power connectivity. The report assesses the market for handset use for sports, well-being, and healthcare applications. The study includes an assessment of the market for downloadable sports and healthcare applications, as well as the potential for wearable devices to connect to mobile handsets. While mobile handsets support a range of healthcare-related services, such as SMS-based information and appointment alerts, as well as voice calls for advice and emergencies, these applications lie outside of the scope of this report.
