regionally & worldwide by using information and communication technology.
The Global eHealth Market is accounted for $41.52
billion in 2017 and is expected to reach $220.65 billion by 2026 growing at a
CAGR of 20.4% during the forecast period. The Main purpose of the ehealth
platforms is to achieve stronger and more effective communication with patients
and upgrade healthcare services and the entire healthcare sectors. It is all

recording and updating every patient’s health history, reports, analyses and
rays.
The health encompasses a wide variety of
sub-domains of digital health such as electronic health records (EHR), electronic
medical records (EMR) telehealth & telemedicine, health IT systems, consumer
health IT data, virtual healthcare, mobile Health (mHealth) and
big data systems etc., these electronic health services explains the
ability to reduce the gaps between patient and the clinician and proves its
significance. The mHealth is one of the trending services based on the mobile
platforms, the possible demand the service is linked to the increasing mobile
penetration and increasing exposure to 3G and 4G mobile networks. The

reciprocate as soon as possible.
Overall, there can be a firm belief that there are
enormous opportunities by learning the above mentioned CAGR and the presence of
the tech giants like cerner, cisco systems, IBM and medtronic in the health
care is an evidence for strong and fair competitions with better opportunities.
There have been successful product portfolio in the markets and there is a
continuous research & development activities going on the products and
services. Medtronic iPro™2 Professional Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) is
an example for such successful application which has basic function of
evaluation of glucose fluctuations hat A1C tests and fingersticks too can miss. When used to tailor treatment recommendations for
patients, iPro2 professional CGM data can lead to better glucose control. In
addition Medtronic has also launched app named iPro™2 myLog which is a
convenient way to log events while on iPro™2 with
inbuilt foodprint which identifies and grades patient food choices based on the
body’s reaction to glucose & Esoteric
