Technological developments in the long-term care industry are one of the major factors responsible for the expansion of these services across the U.S. Earlier, durable medical devices such as wheelchairs, walkers, and safety rugs were mostly used for care management. The development of sophisticated & easy-to-use devices and services such as internet-enabled home monitors, telemedicine, and apps for mobile health is likely to boost the market in the forecast period.

The adoption of telehealth applications by providers of long-term care services is helping the market transform into an organized sector, attracting the interest of investors and entrepreneurs. Important advantages of technology integrated service are the reduction in financial burden associated with medical procedures and a decrease in the requirement of institutional care. For instance, remote patient monitoring in-home care services enable doctors to review real-time data and consult patients, reducing the number of home visits & appointments and helping in reducing emergency hospital admissions

According to the American Association of Long-Term Care Insurance, more than 8 million U.S. citizens have long-term care insurance. Employers are taking initiative to provide long-term care services to their employees. For instance, Medtronic sponsors a group LTC insurance plan for its employees. This plan is aimed at protecting employees from high costs associated with long-term care services at home, in community care, and in assisted living facilities.
