Commenting on the report, an analyst from Technavio’ s team said: “Rising popularity of LBM will be a
key trend for market growth. In the healthcare sector, proper communication between patients and
doctors and patients and caretakers is the most important thing. Poor communication between hospital
staff and patients may lead to delays, which can even be fatal. Earlier, pagers were used inside hospitals.
However, using this outdated technology, hospital staff loses an average of 46 minutes per working day
in communication. To improve efficiency and reduce cost, most hospitals now use LBM. LBM is mainly
used for patient communications, patient help-button alerting, and staff safety alerting.”
According to the report, growing use of healthcare wearables will be a key driver for market growth.
With the increase in the number of people with chronic conditions worldwide and the rise in healthcare
costs, it is very

difficult for the hospital staff to manage all the patients simultaneously. Additionally, patients have to
wait in long queues for long hours. To resolve this problem, vendors have introduced remote patient
monitoring (RPM). This application allows physicians to monitor the patient from a remote location or
home with the help of wearable healthcare devices. RPM helps both patients and doctors and increases
the efficiency of hospital management. It also helps in reducing healthcare cost, travel time, and hospital
visits for both patients and staff. Healthcare wearables such as activity trackers, smartwatches, health
monitors, and pedometers are used to track the activities of doctors, staff, and patients
Further, the report states that a major challenge for the market will be safety and security concerns. The
security and privacy of patient data are an important concern for hospitals as medical data is highly
confidential. LBS healthcare applications provide the exact location and the information on the
condition of patients in the hospital. Hospital authorities often cannot control the leakage of
information about patients and doctors in social networking sites. So, companies providing LBS should
undertake the responsibility of maintaining the privacy of their clients and preventing the unauthorized
tracking and misuse of information.
The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information
including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and
vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key vendors.
