Global personal health record software market was valued at USD 7.07million in 2020. It is forecast to grow at a compound annual rate (CAGR of 9.9%) over the forecast period. The market will be driven by factors such as increasing demand for centralizing and streamlining healthcare information, rising demand for cloud-based software to deal with individual data, as well as initiatives to promote patient-centric health care. After two months of pilot projects to improve patient engagement, Apple launched the Personal Health Record (PHR), program in March 2018. After the COVID-19 epidemic, which has thrown off work and life, there was an immediate need for digital tools. Businesses from all industries and regions increased their digital revolution efforts and moved products and services online.
Healthcare groups controlled many patient records in the past. Often, these records were kept separate from each other, which prevented healthcare professionals from sharing their health information. The pandemic forced healthcare organizations to share individuals' medical records in a meaningful and easily accessible way. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and the Department of Health and Human Services Office of National Coordinator for Health Information Technology issued two new rules that will be in effect in April 2021.
These rules aim to improve the accessibility of health information for individuals. Healthcare groups must make their health records available electronically using widely used technical standards. The other prohibits information blocking, where healthcare organizations place unreasonable practical, financial, and technical obstacles to the sharing health information. The market growth was positively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Market growth can be attributed to high acceptance of advanced technologies that cater to increasing customer needs.
Market growth will also be supported by rising awareness among urban patients regarding medical information storage management and government initiatives to encourage paperless integration in the healthcare industry. In August 2020, India's government announced the launch of the National Digital Health Mission. But, security concerns regarding individual health data security are creating barriers. This is hindering patient engagement and limiting adoption of PHR solutions by end-users.

The sharing of relevant health information with healthcare providers is easier when you have personal health records. This helps patients to coordinate care and improve their management of chronic diseases. A growing number of chronic diseases such as COPD and asthma, diabetes, cancer, stroke and other conditions is expected to drive the adoption of personal health records. Market growth is further supported by efficient care delivery and better patient-provider relationships.
With a market share of more than 57%, the software and mobile apps segment was dominant in 2020. The segment's growth is supported by technological advancements in the healthcare sector. There is a growing demand for healthcare record applications with a simple user interface and fast internet access. During the forecast period, the segment will see an increase in usage of smartphones and high speed networks.
Over the forecast period, the services segment will experience the fastest CAGR. In the past, patient's PHRs were simply paper documents that were kept on file. PicnicHealth is one of the many businesses that offer PHR services. PicnicHealth raised $25M for its patient record management service in September 2020.
With a 52.0% revenue share in 2020, the web-based deployment mode segment was dominant in personal health record software markets. This segment will be driven by the growing adoption of online apps as well as the development in digitization. Users can access apps using Uniform Resource Locators, which are the latest and most innovative technologies. Segment growth is further supported by the many benefits associated with web-based PHR Software, including easy sharing of vital information between patients and multiple doctors.
Cloud-based segments are expected to experience the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. The segment's growth is driven by the growing demand for mobility and cost-savings in IT infrastructure. It also allows for multiple device access from any location. Security and privacy of personal health data is a major concern in e-health. The cloud server provider is usually a third-party module. Therefore, it is important to protect privacy and secure health data. Cloud servers can be considered semi-trustworthy because they won't actively seek to obtain the information.
With a market share of more than 40%, the standalone segment led global personal health records in 2020. This segment will grow at the fastest rate of CAGR between 2021 and 2028. The data can only be viewed by providers if patients consent. Segment growth is aided by the perceived privacy control and belief that a standalone PHR offers. A standalone PHR can also be used to manage patient data, which is expected to help segment growth.
From 2021 to 2028, the provider-tethered market is expected to expand at a steady CAGR greater than 9.5%. The provider-tethered segment's PHRs can be connected to an internal healthcare administration record system. The segment is expected to grow due to government initiatives to encourage IT use in healthcare and the introduction of advanced healthcare services.
North America was the dominant market, accounting for over 55% of the total revenue in 2020. Its growth is mainly due to government initiatives for eHealth and the need to adhere to regulatory guidelines & reduce healthcare costs. The market will also grow due to the increased focus of non-governmental organizations on developing a sustainable healthcare system in the region.
Over the forecast period, the fastest rate of growth is expected in the rest of the globe. Due to the increasing number of chronic long-term conditions and aging population, the main driver of market growth is remote patient monitoring.
