Abstract

As the telecommunications industry struggles to overcome the effects of the economic downturn, the healthcare sector will present important new revenue opportunities. For example, developing the infrastructure for telemedicine, which can extend access to primary care, specialists, and health education to remote rural areas, will offer a means for carriers to enter the market. Current participants can expand market share by providing high-end data links for the transfer of images, voice, and video.

At the same time, expansion of wireless applications for healthcare providers will allow doctors and nurses faster, more convenient access to patient information and healthcare references while enabling telecommunications carriers to attract new subscribers. This Frost & Sullivan research analyzes the healthcare segment of the telecommunications markets. By detailing promising growth areas, this study can help market participants develop specific products and services targeted toward the healthcare industry and realize new sources of revenue.
