Health monitoring revenues to hit $1.9 billion by 2014

Revenues from remote patient monitoring using mobile networks will rise to almost $1.9 billion globally by 2014, according to Juniper Research.

Heart-based monitoring in the US will account for the bulk of early mobile monitoring roll-outs.

While mobile monitoring will contribute to healthcare cost savings in developed markets, national wealth and the structure of the healthcare market in a given geographical region will influence the extent to which it is rolled out.
