Teleradiology Market Trends:
Technological Advancements
The emerging trend of digitalization, the continuous technological advancements, and the rising shift towards digital radiography and picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) are primarily driving the teleradiology market statistics. For instance, 5C Network has launched its artificial intelligence-powered platform Prodigi to interpret radiology images directly from the cloud. This state-of-the-art platform enables teleradiology at a massive scale and makes it possible for diagnostic centers and hospitals to submit scans and access reports. Moreover, the radiology tech firm OpenRad has introduced an enterprise remote reporting platform at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). In addition to this, Fujifilm India Pvt. Ltd., has launched a mobile digital radiology system - FDR nano. Furthermore, as per the article published by the Lancet Journal in April 2023, teleradiology software, combined with AI and mobile digital imaging units, can address radiologist shortages, and strengthen various programs aimed at population screening and emergency care.
Globalization of Healthcare Services
The emerging trend of globalization of healthcare services and the ongoing innovations in telecommunications and secure data transfer protocols are stimulating the teleradiology market growth. Moreover, the shifting individual preferences towards second opinions or specialized expertise from radiologists across various countries are also catalyzing the global market. For example, as per the article published in Oxford Academic, the Government of India implemented teleradiology during the pandemic and launched the CollabDDS Online Radiology Services (CORS) initiative. CORS is a web-based interface that provides an integrated online environment between remote health centers and expert radiologists and doctors in tertiary healthcare facilities to visualize and study radiological images in real time.
Focus on Cost-Efficiency and Healthcare Resource Optimization
The elevating focus of the leading players on resource optimization and cost-efficiency in the healthcare industry is positively influencing the market growth.
