Asia-Pacific Teleradiology Market Definition
Teleradiology is a medical method that captures visuals of the internal anatomy and function of the body that helps in the process of medical diagnosis or therapy. Interpreting all noninvasive imaging studies, such as digitized x-rays, CT, MRI, ultrasound, and nuclear medicine studies, can be carried out in such a manner. It can capture medical images in one location and facilitate or transmit them over a range so that a radiologist can view and interpret them for diagnostic or consultative purposes. Teleradiology is extensively used in telemonitoring, teleconsultation, and telediagnosis, enabling radiologists to perform their daily work effectively. Teleradiology enables effective on-site solutions through real-time interpretation and Asia-Pacific cloud networks. Teleradiology primarily aids medical personnel in accessing patient information regardless of location, enhancing diagnostic coverage. Teleradiology services present extensive applications for radiologists to use web services that improve patients' care and therapies without the requirement to be physically present on site.
In addition, the rising demand for teleradiology in cases of second opinion and emergencies is one of the high-impact rendering drivers of the market. Moreover, a shortage of healthcare professionals, especially in sub-specialist segments such as pediatric, neurology, and musculoskeletal radiology, is leading to the adoption of teleradiology services.
Asia-Pacific Teleradiology Market Dynamics
This section deals with understanding the market drivers, opportunities, restraints, and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail as below:
Drivers
- Growing Number of Advanced Imaging Procedures
The rise in imaging procedures is expected to drive the demand for teleradiology solutions for reliability and efficiency. Advanced diagnostic imaging, including diagnostic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), and nuclear medicine imaging, such as positron emission tomography (PET), has attracted many new providers. There has been a proliferation in the volume of diagnostic medical imaging services prescribed by practitioners, including radiologists.
CT scans account for a quarter of all Americans exposed to radiation. A high level of engineering and expertise is required to manage advanced and sophisticated diagnostic imaging systems, thus driving the growing complexity of cases with a lack of appropriate resources. Adopting remote sensing solutions has contributed significantly to narrowing the rural-urban disparity in many emerging countries, including India and Brazil, as well as in developed economies such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany. These solutions are more practical and economical as they eliminate travel and allow radiologists to work from anywhere. The shortage of qualified radiologists has further increased the demand for radiology services.
Advanced imaging procedures for teleradiology are expected to help the market get more accurate results quickly and propel the Asia-Pacific teleradiology market growth in the forecasted period.
- Adoption of Artificial Intelligence in Teleradiology
Artificial intelligence is one of the most promising breakthroughs in teleradiology. It is estimated that the number of publications on AI in radiology has grown from an average of 100-150 research publications per year to 700-800 per year over the past decade. Among all major imaging modalities, the acceptance of AI is higher in CT and MRI systems. Depending on the application, AI is also used primarily in neuroradiology. Several players in this market are expanding their AI offerings.
AI has been embedded in numerous medical institutions worldwide and has proven itself a valuable partner in the radiology environment. Asia-Pacific Diagnostics Australia (GDA), an Integral Diagnostics Group (IDG) subsidiary, was one of the first Australian diagnostics companies to deploy AI as part of their radiology workflow. The company integrated high-end algorithms into the care management path to accelerate patient care and treatment of head, neck, and chest conditions. The additional benefit of AI in teleradiology is that Artificial intelligence helps radiologists quickly analyze image and data registries to understand patient conditions better, enhance their clinical role, and become part of the core management team. AI picks up enough weight that the radiologist can focus on the complex cases that require their specialist attention.
Artificial intelligence (AI) can help create an inbuilt system that prioritizes cases based on their protocol requirement. For example, cases of trauma and stroke can be prioritized and assigned to the radiologist's work lists, thereby saving many lives.
Artificial intelligence in teleradiology helps get improved results with automated tools and helps radiologists utilize their skills properly, which is expected to propel market growth.
Restraint
- Lack of Access to High-Speed Internet in Rural Areas
Teleradiology allows rural patients and professionals to receive quality imaging advice without traveling to populated urban areas with more advanced medical systems. Additionally, radiologists remotely working need a good internet connection. However, the lack of high-speed broadband connectivity has impacted the growing access to teleradiation services in rural areas.
Limited access to high-speed internet connections impacts the ability of radiologists to participate in video consultations, submit medical imaging reports, and monitor patient health remotely. When slow connection speeds create bottlenecks in image-heavy studies, the workflow can quickly become frustrating and affect patient care. Additionally, IT services are required to ensure that the images are submitted in compliance with his HIPAA. Lack of reliable internet connectivity and poor broadband connectivity in rural areas is, therefore, major obstacles to the steady expansion of the Asia-Pacific market.
Opportunity
-
Increasing Awareness Among People
Teleradiology offers alternative options for receiving healthcare services in the Asia-Pacific, improving access and reducing costs associated with traveling for services. However, the full potential of teleradiology has not been realized with slow and fragmented uptake.
The increase in the awareness program, teleradiology awareness, and support from the government has increased the usage of teleradiology and telehealth in various areas.
These awareness programs and events among the people increase their interest in their health and to know more about the healthcare programs and what new opportunities are available for their health that will ultimately raise market growth of teleradiology and provide opportunities for companies to grow.
Challenge
- High Chances of Misdiagnosis
A physical examination can better understand the patient's actual health condition, which is the most crucial element for the patient's treatment. All the treatment programs and what should be the next step for the treatment can be created with the help of a quick physical examination. The same procedure should be applied to the radiologists to know more about actual problems and conditions, and more outcomes are obtained when patients are present with radiologists during consultations. Lack of patient medical history and other necessary records of the patient body examination during medical imaging is a major factor in the radiologist's incapacity to make the optimal decision in teleradiology. For example, it has been demonstrated that communication between doctors and radiologists results in clinical diagnosis revisions in 50% of cases, affecting therapy options. The accuracy of interpretation will change if the patient's medical history is appropriately disclosed
Thus, the high chances of misdiagnosis and improper examination of the report demolish teleradiology usage, which is expected to challenge the Asia-Pacific teleradiology market growth.
Post-Covid-19 Impact on Asia-Pacific Teleradiology Market
The COVID-19 outbreak drastically affected Asia-Pacific healthcare, with the UK among the countries most severely impacted. Coronavirus had spread worldwide, affecting millions of people and resulting in thousands of deaths.
