Market Dynamics

Administrative Fallacies to Drive the Need for Physical Therapy Software

Technological advancement has transformed the healthcare sector in the last few years; for instance, the integration of software applications with in-built tools aids in managing patient data. The ‘Administrative Errors: Technical Series on Safer Primary Care, 2016’ report published by the World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that about 5%–50% of medical errors in primary care were caused due to administrative fallacies, which further increases the need for physical therapy software.

Rising Incidences of Home-Accidents

The geriatric population is highly susceptible to home-accidents and bone-related diseases such as osteoporosis, further increasing the need for physiotherapy treatments to build strength and stamina. As per the Asecurelife Statistics, in the U.S., about 300,000 geriatrics are hospitalized for hip fracture cases every year. As per the CDC, around 36,338 people die due to unintentional falls every year. In Japan, approximately 27% of the population is above the age of 65 years, followed by Italy with 23%. The market players are channelizing efforts to develop software that offers umpteen services in the comfort of home. Recently, Meditab developed software “Physical Therapy EHR Software” that comprises integrated exercise routines, easy operability, scheduling, and outcome tracking.
