Widespread Adoption of Smartphones
The rapid growth of smartphone usage in the region is a significant factor driving the Latin America mobile health (mHealth) market growth. According an annual survey, there are 1.2 smartphones per inhabitant, totaling 258 million smartphones in use in Brazil. With the adoption of smartphone ownership has come a veritable explosion in the variety of health-related applications and services available. This shift enables patients to monitor their health, schedule appointments, and utilize telemedicine services at their convenience, fostering a more proactive approach to personal well-being and improving health outcomes across the region. In line with this, in September 2024, Mevo, a prominent digital prescription platform in Brazil, has announced the successful acquisition of USD 19 million (approximately BRL 110 million) in new venture capital funding. The platform enables patients to conveniently access their prescriptions and purchase medications via an intuitive mobile interface.
Rising Government Initiatives and Support
Government initiatives to enhance healthcare infrastructure and promote digital health technologies significantly influence the mHealth market in Latin America. Various countries are implementing policies that encourage the use of telemedicine and digital health solutions, offering funding and resources to develop mobile health applications. These supportive measures foster innovation and create an environment conducive to the growth of mHealth, ultimately improving healthcare delivery across the region. Therefore, this is creating a positive Latin America mobile health (mHealth) market outlook. For instance, on February 2024, the San Juan de Dios Departmental Hospital in Puerto Carreño-Vichada announced a partnership with Fundación Cadena Colombia and Fundación Roles de Colores to provide better healthcare services in this area. This campaign aims to cover the 49,000 migrants and indigenous people in the department who are not registered in the Colombian health system. Through care, the hospital and these entities will deploy mobile brigades to serve residents living in informal settlements inside and around the town center of Puerto Carreño, specifically the area of Casuarito.
