医療用レファレンスアプリの世界市場：市場規模・シェア・動向分析 (用途別・プラットフォーム別・デバイス別・最終用途別・地域別)、セグメント別予測 (2025年～2030年)

医療用レファレンスアプリ市場動向：

世界の医療用レファレンスアプリの市場規模は、2024年に13億4,000万米ドルと推計され、2025年から2030年にかけてCAGR 14.9％で成長すると予測されています。

この成長は主に、デジタル医療ソリューションへの依存の高まり、医療業界におけるITの統合の拡大、リアルタイムのmヘルス情報に対する需要の高まり、医療従事者と患者におけるスマートフォンの普及の拡大によってもたらされます。医療用レファレンスアプリは、エビデンスに基づく医療の実践を促し、医療提供者と患者に、選択された診断と治療計画に対する自信を与えます。例えば、Epic SystemsのiPhone用Haikuアプリは、Doximity会員がモバイルEHRを通してワンタップで患者に電話できるようにし始めました。これにより、医師は個人の電話番号を非公開にしたまま、携帯電話で健康記録を閲覧し、患者とコミュニケーションをとることができます。

医療用レファレンスアプリは医療専門家にとって不可欠であり、重要な医療情報への迅速かつ信頼性の高いアクセスを提供します。これらのアプリは、エビデンスに基づくガイドライン、薬物相互作用チェッカー、診断ツールを提供することで、臨床上の意思決定をサポートします。医師や看護師などの医療提供者は、治療プロトコル、医学辞書、臨床ガイドラインなどの信頼できるリソースをすばやく見つけることができます。最新の調査をリアルタイムで更新するこれらのアプリは、ミスを減らし、患者の転帰を改善し、ペースの速い臨床環境でのワークフローを合理化するのに役立ちます。診断の確認であれ、薬剤の適合性の確認であれ、医療用レファレンスアプリは患者ケアの効率性と正確性を高める上で極めて重要です。

市場成長を促進すると予想されるもう1つの要因は、世界中で5G技術の採用が拡大していることです。GSMAが2023年に発表した報告書によると、5Gの世界の普及率は2030年までに54％になると推定されています。また、5Gの帯域幅の拡大と低遅延により、より高解像度の画像や動画の共有が容易になり、バーチャルな交流の質と価値が向上すると予想されます。これにより、病院や診療所を訪れる必要性が減り、医療施設や病院へのアクセスが容易でない遠隔地の患者にも恩恵がもたらされると期待されます。

薬物療法の複雑化に伴い、特に慢性疾患を管理する患者では、投薬、安全性、コンプライアンスが重視されるようになっています。医療用レファレンスアプリは、相互作用、禁忌、投与量のガイドライン、副作用に関する情報を含む包括的な医薬品データベースへのリアルタイムアクセスを提供することで、このニーズをサポートします。これらのツールは、医療提供者がより多くの情報に基づいた処方を決定し、投薬ミスのリスクを低減するのに役立ちます。患者にとっては、リマインダー、投与量トラッカー、教育コンテンツが治療計画のアドヒアランスを向上させます。さらに、有害事象（ADE）にフラグを付けて報告する機能は、より強固なファーマコビジランスの実践に貢献します。これらのアプリは薬剤の安全性を高め、コンプライアンスを確保し、より良い臨床転帰をサポートします。

さらに、医療ITの技術進歩は、ケアの提供と臨床転帰を改善することにより、医療費を削減する機会を提供します。さらに、新しく革新的な医療用レファレンスアプリの発売の増加は、市場の成長を後押しします。例えば、2018年7月、EMDEXナイジェリアはITmedicusと共同で、無料のEMDEX医薬品情報アプリをGoogle Playストアで発表しました。このアプリには次のような特徴があります。

Medical Reference Apps Market Trends:

The global medical reference apps market size was estimated at USD 1.34 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 14.9% from 2025 to 2030. This growth is mainly driven by the increasing reliance on digital healthcare solutions, the expanding integration of IT within the healthcare industry, the rising demand for real-time mHealth information, and the growing penetration of smartphones among healthcare professionals and patients. Medical reference apps encourage the practice of evidence-based medicine and give providers and patients confidence in the chosen diagnosis and treatment plans. For example, Epic Systems' Haiku app for iPhones began allowing Doximity members to call patients with a single tap through the mobile EHR. This enables doctors to view health records and communicate with patients via mobile phones while keeping their personal phone numbers private.

Medical reference apps are essential for healthcare professionals, providing fast and reliable access to critical medical information. These apps support clinical decision-making by offering evidence-based guidelines, drug interaction checkers, and diagnostic tools. They ensure that healthcare providers, including doctors and nurses, can quickly find trusted resources such as treatment protocols, medical dictionaries, and clinical guidelines. With real-time updates on the latest research, these apps help reduce errors, improve patient outcomes, and streamline workflows in fast-paced clinical environments. Whether it's confirming a diagnosis or checking drug compatibility, medical reference apps are crucial in enhancing efficiency and accuracy in patient care.

Another factor expected to propel market growth is the growing adoption of 5G technology across the globe. According to a report published by GSMA in 2023, the global penetration of 5G is estimated to be 54% by 2030. In addition, the increased bandwidth and low latency of 5G are anticipated to facilitate the sharing of images and videos with higher resolution, improving the quality and value of virtual interaction. This is expected to reduce the need to visit a hospital or clinic and benefit remote patients who don't have easy access to a medical facility or hospital.

With the increasing complexity of drug regimen, particularly for patients managing chronic conditions, there is a heightened emphasis on medication, safety, and compliance. Medical reference apps support this need by offering real-time access to comprehensive drug databases, including information on interactions, contraindications, dosage guidelines, and side effects. These tools help healthcare providers make more informed prescribing decisions, reducing the risk of medication errors. For patients, reminders, dosage trackers, and educational content improve adherence to treatment plans. In addition, the ability to flag and report adverse drug events (ADEs) contributes to more robust pharmacovigilance practices. These apps enhance medication safety, ensure compliance, and support better clinical outcomes.

Furthermore, technological advancements in healthcare IT provide opportunities to cut healthcare spending by improving care delivery and clinical outcomes. In addition, the rise in the launch of new and innovative medical reference apps boosts market growth. For instance, in July 2018, EMDEX Nigeria, in collaboration with ITmedicus, introduced a free EMDEX Drug Information App on the Google Play Store. It has the following features,
