Healthcare Apps

Hi everyone!

I am not sure but I think it was, Amir Marandi, who talked about a bracelet that alerts when you have a poor pulse. I read something that is closely related to Amirs elevator pitch on Break It.

It is a new venture Digital Healthcare with a first site called Wellobe.

Last year, the market for healthcare apps were worth approximately SEK 90 billion and is expected to grow by over 30 percent a year until 2020, according to Allied Market Research. On the website Break It you can read about the Norwegian media giant Schibsted who has their eyes on this segment. Now the company is expanding its focus on digital health, and launching the new site Wellobe that will help users find a professional coach and help with challenges.

Schibsted has also announced that they will come to develop more new products and sites linked to health.

The trend “healthcare app” is clearly just getting started!
