1.1.2 Postulations
This section covers assumptions and postulations or hypotheses considered during the research of
the market. The assumptions considered for estimating the complete forecast of the Global Smart
Phone Enabled Healthcare Diagnostics Market have been detailed below:

The report assumes that no major economic depression or surge occurs during the forecast
period. These extreme variations may take place due to environmental challenges, global
economic cues, wars and other factors.

The report assumes the term diagnostics to cover all major associated processes such as
monitoring and physician services but excludes market estimates of wellness devices such
as fitness trackers, wellness apps and services that do not provide conclusive diagnostics to
diseases.

The market estimates for apps are based on subscriber volume and annual charges per
person whether physician or patient.

The market includes estimates for technologies that store data locally as well. There are
several devices that do not communicate with service providers or caregivers and
physicians. These devices compile data more as a medical history that can be shared later.

Due to the young nature of this market, the report estimates consider devices and systems
that are approved by federal and regional authorities such as FDA and CE as well as those
not approved but currently deployed in the market. Surveys conducted for this segment only
confirms the sale of devices to people across the world thus ensuring revenue generation
that is finally the true market today.

Market Dynamics

3.1 Market Drivers

3.1.1 Advanced computing capabilities and miniaturization of
devices facilitates more accurate diagnosis
Smart phone devices were introduced in the last decade and have undergone tremendous
transformation in terms of capabilities. Current smart phones are capable of performing tasks that
desktop computers did until the last decade. Advanced capabilities within iPhones or any Android
phones have significantly reduced the rate of false positive diagnostic results. High powered batteries
required by smart phones provide optimum power for plug-ins and modules that actually perform the
task of completing the diagnostics.

3.1.2 High penetration of smart phones across all geographies

It is estimated that by 2016 over 2 billion people will have purchased a smart phone and a large
percentage of this population use smart phones for functions besides music, calls and clicking
photos. In Asia-Pacific, the population of smart phone users is anticipated to grow over 1.5 billion by
2020. Over 550 million are anticipated to use smartphone users worldwide will be using healthrelated apps. There is thus a high market penetration of smart phone users across the world.
Providing healthcare on smart phones will address a large unmet need of healthcare and increase
diagnostic rates of several diseases and particularly lifestyle diseases such as high blood pressure,
diabetes among others.

3.1.3 High awareness and demand of home -care and self-care

facilities will propel growth in adoption and usage
Blood glucose (diabetes), blood pressure among several other chronic disorders are routinely
managed by patients themselves. Awareness and increased comfort of technology particularly among
aging population has prompted independence in taking care of illnesses at home by patients. The
availability of easy to understand smart phone based devices will further propel the adoption.
Analysts at SA-BRC anticipate that an additional niche segment is childcare at home wherein parents
resort to smart phone enabled diagnostics to routinely monitor fever, ear-nose-throat infections, skin
infections among others that affect young children. Smart phones are capable of taking pictures and
analysing dermatological disorders or skin disorders and will provide parents with the proper steps to
combat the diseases.
