Only about 1.2 percent of people with diabetes use a mobile application to manage their condition, according to a new report by Research2Guidance. That?s a group of about 1.6 million users. However, the firm predicts that by 2018 that number will rise to 24 million users, or 7.8 percent of people with diabetes.
Research2Guidance is using numbers from the IDF Diabetes Atlas to calculate those percentages. It puts the number of people around the world with diabetes at 382 million, expected to hit 592 million by 2035. Research2Guidance rates diabetes as the therapeutic area with the most business potential for mobile health apps.
