Healthcare interoperability solutions are transcending traditional EHR (Electronic Health Record) systems, finding new use cases in wearables, telehealth, and pharmaceutical supply chains. These emerging applications are expanding the market’s scope, unlocking demand from previously untapped sectors and redefining what interoperability means for global health. As the line between healthcare and daily life blurs, interoperability solutions are becoming critical to integrating consumer health data with clinical systems, driving a 25% CAGR in non-EHR applications by 2030.

Wearables and IoT Devices. With 40% of adults globally using fitness trackers or smartwatches, interoperability solutions are now connecting these devices to EHRs. For example, Apple’s Health Records API, integrated with platforms like [Cerner], allows patients to share heart rate or glucose data from their Apple Watch directly with their doctors. This real-time data flow enables proactive care; a Dutch study found that diabetic patients using connected wearables reduced hospital visits by 22%.

Telehealth Expansion. The telehealth boom (expected to reach $XX billion by 2027) relies heavily on interoperability to share data between virtual consultations and physical records. Platforms like [TelInterOp] integrate with Zoom and Doxy.me, capturing patient vitals during video visits and automatically updating their EHRs. This not only improves care continuity but also simplifies billing; telehealth providers using these tools report 30% faster claim processing, reducing administrative backlogs.

Pharmaceutical Supply Chains. Drug manufacturers are adopting interoperability solutions to track products from production to patient, enhancing traceability and reducing counterfeits. In China, where 10% of medicines are counterfeit, [PharmaLink]’s blockchain-integrated interoperability platform tracks 98% of pharmaceutical shipments, ensuring authenticity. This application has drawn interest from global firms, with Pfizer and Novartis investing in similar solutions.
