Berg Insight expects 160 million home medical monitors in care programs by 2030

Berg Insight expects 160 million home medical monitors in care programs by 2030

Prescribed connected home medical monitors are forecast to grow from 92.7 million in 2025 to 159.7 million by 2030. The fastest growth is in diabetes, remote ECG and medication compliance, categories spread across many suppliers. Clinical value increasingly depends on combining data from different devices.

  • 01159.7 million prescribed home medical monitors expected by 2030, growing at 11.5 percent annually from 92.7 million in 2025.
  • 02Sleep therapy is the largest connected segment, followed by diabetes with 19.5 million connections at end of 2025, with fastest future growth in diabetes, remote ECG and medication compliance monitoring.
  • 03Clinical value increasingly depends on integrating data across devices into workflows: vendors combine hardware, software, analytics and interoperability with existing healthcare systems.

Zocdoc's first acquisition in nearly 20 years is an insurance checker

Zocdoc's first acquisition in nearly 20 years is an insurance checker

Zocdoc has bought Sohar Health, its first acquisition in nearly 20 years. Sohar's software finds and verifies a patient's insurance coverage from a name and birth date. Zocdoc wants that check to work across its Care Access Network, which lets insurers, consumer apps and AI tools embed Zocdoc's clinician search and scheduling on their own websites and apps.

  • 01After nearly 20 years without an acquisition, Zocdoc's first purchase is the insurance check that sits between a patient's search and a booked appointment.
  • 02For practices that pay Zocdoc per booking, the sharper question is how often coverage verified at booking matches what the front desk confirms at check-in.

The physical exam splits into parts, and each goes remote at its own pace

The physical exam splits into parts, and each goes remote at its own pace

One weak link in virtual physical exams is patient technique, since home readings depend on how patients take them.

  • 01Charting what a patient could not do for lack of home equipment is part of the exam record, and federal telehealth guidance ties that documentation to coding and billing.
  • 02Remote exams fit best where home data already accumulates: a week of home blood pressure readings or continuous glucose data shows what a single office reading cannot.
