Global Digital Health for Musculoskeletal Care Market Introduction and Overview
According to SPER Market Research, the Global Digital Health for Musculoskeletal Care Market is estimated to reach USD 19.38 billion by 2033 with a CAGR of 17.91%.
The report includes an in-depth analysis of the Global Digital Health for Musculoskeletal Care Market, including market size and trends, product mix, Applications, and supplier analysis. Digital health for musculoskeletal (MSK) care uses technology to improve the diagnosis, treatment, and management of musculoskeletal disorders such arthritis, back pain, and sports injuries. This novel strategy combines telemedicine, wearable devices, mobile health apps, and AI-powered technologies to deliver personalised care and real-time monitoring. Digital health solutions increase patient accessibility and participation by providing virtual consultations, fitness programs, and remote rehabilitation, while lowering healthcare expenses. These technologies provide data-driven insights, allowing physicians to improve treatment plans and outcomes.
- Sun Life announced in July 2024 that it has chosen Hinge Health to conduct digital therapies for members with musculoskeletal (MSK) disorders, with the goal of improving healthcare outcomes while keeping costs down for customers and members. Sun Life's recent High-Cost Claims and Injectable study stated that MSK disorders were the fifth most expensive claims from 2020 to 2023.
- Hinge Health introduced Hinge Health global in May 2024 as a targeted treatment for chronic pain in the global workforce. Using a single system, this platform enables global companies to provide employees worldwide with individualized digital musculoskeletal (MSK) treatment.
- The digital musculoskeletal leadership program, "Harnessing the Potential of Digital MSK Care," was introduced in April 2024 by Net Health, a developer of specialist software for restorative therapy, in collaboration with the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA). The service consists of editorial content produced by Net Health, the APTA, and other professionals, as well as on-demand webinars with pioneers in rehab treatment.
Market Opportunities and Challenges
Opportunities: The growing number of ailments, the popularity of telehealth and remote monitoring, wearable technologies, and the move to value-based treatment are the main factors propelling the industry. Another factor driving the rising need is the aging of the population and the emphasis on preventative care, particularly in occupational health. The issue of growing healthcare expenses is addressed by digital platforms, which reduce in-person visits and increase rehabilitation effectiveness. Treatment is being revolutionized by the increasing use of telehealth and remote monitoring in musculoskeletal care, which eliminates the need for in-person visits and allows virtual consultations. This is particularly helpful for long-term ailments like lower back pain and arthritis since it encourages regular contact, improves treatment compliance, and offers individualized care.
Challenges: The use of digital health solutions for musculoskeletal (MSK) care is fraught with challenges, including privacy and data security concerns. These systems' strong reliance on personal health information (PHI) makes them especially susceptible to hacking, data breaches, and illegal access. Because of the vulnerabilities created by the increasing use of digital platforms, sensitive patient data may be compromised. Monitoring and treatment in MSK care often rely on real-time data, therefore any data breach could negatively affect patient results. As a result, these factors can prevent the market from expanding.

As healthcare providers prioritize cost-effective and efficient management solutions, the software segment's role grows more important.
COVID-19 Impact on Global Digital Health for Musculoskeletal Care Market
The COVID-19 pandemic created substantial delays in musculoskeletal (MSK) treatment, as many typical in-person services such as physical therapy and orthopedic consultations were postponed. Patients with chronic MSK disorders were particularly affected, as delays in care resulted in worsening symptoms. Furthermore, the rapid transition to digital platforms proved difficult for healthcare institutions that were not completely prepared to deploy telehealth technologies. Many patients, particularly older ones, found it challenging to navigate digital health tools, emphasizing inequities in access to digital healthcare throughout the epidemic. As a result, the pandemic had a significant negative influence on the market.
