With an impressive track record of 10 consecutive years of high revenue and profits growth, and the most prestigious references in the healthcare world, eDevice is the European “success story” of the Connected Care.
iHealth with headquarters in Mountain View California, was the first brand to release an iOS connected blood pressure monitor and became a leader in its space by proposing a full healthcare and wellbeing product range in the consumer Connected Healthcare market. Its products, that have received rewards from Red Dot design, iF design, and CES innovation, and are distributed worldwide through reputable retail channels, empower people to manage their health and wellbeing and support monitoring along the continuum of care.
Due to the aging population, the increasing burden of healthcare costs and the development of chronic diseases, the mHealth Solutions Market including Connected Devices (Blood Pressure Monitor, Glucose Meter, Pulse Oximeter) Apps (Weight Loss, Womens Health, Personal Health Record, & Medication) and Services (Remote Monitoring, Consultation, Prevention) is expected to witness exponential growth in the coming years. According to Markets&Markets, this market is poised to reach USD 59.15 Billion by 2020, growing at a CAGR of 33.4% until 2020.
Together, iHealth, eDevice and Andon Group are present in all the segments of the market.
Stephane Schinazi, co-founder of eDevice declares “We have built a fantastic toolset able to answer to the requirements of the most demanding healthcare companies regarding quality, regulatory, and scalability. Whilst our client base is mostly in the US, we see the opportunity to address global markets with more geographic presence and more resources”. Marc Berrebi, the other co-founder adds, “We are on a fragmented market. While a number of protagonists are still trying to figure out what they could do to enter the space, eDevice and iHealth have an established position in the B2B (Business to Business) and B2C (Business to Consumer) markets. It is not a coincidence that iHealth and eDevice are both in the Global Digital Health 100 of the Journal of mHealth. We will form a fantastic group of companies with a global presence and the opportunity to take the leadership of the booming Connected Care market.”
