Howdy!

Home Healthcare has been in the block from quite a while but the pandemic has triggered a whole new dimension to home care market.

Traditionally Home health care has seen agencies who support various types of care activities like nursing, providing medical supplies, dietary and nutrition services, therapies, post-surgical care services or it could be services around ADL (Activities of Daily Living) like bathing, toileting or feeding as an example or at home hospice care.

Digital technologies have always played a big role in streamlining the home care workflows where a patient can get all the care services from the comfort of their home. Moreover, this model of care delivery is more cost effective as you save a ton against an in-patient care.

As per a report published by Precedence Research –

Home Healthcare Market Size will be worth Around US$ 383.66 Bn by 2030
