At their most basic level, wellness programs represent an attempt to encourage good health and thereby decrease utilization of health care products and services. They have evolved out of necessity from the current U.S. health care system, in response to a variety of factors including continually rising costs of care and declining quality of life.

A Comprehensive Look at the 'Wellness' Industry

Utilization of wellness programs in the United States has experienced strong recent growth this is expected to continue through the forecast period. As more people participate in wellness programs, their usage of various health care products and services will be affected, as well the revenues of wellness program providers. This report looks at the emerging wellness industry and estimates the market for wellness related products and services. This portion of the report examines:

• Drivers of Wellness Services
• Utilization Statistics
• Major Companies and Offerings
• Current Wellness Program Market Size
• Innovative Approaches
• Results of Programs
• General Trends(Weak U.S. Economy, Postponing of Retirement, EMR, Rising Interest in Anti-Aging)
• Industry Trends(Internet-Based Wellness Programs, Usage of Financial Incentives, Emergence of Retail Clinics)

A Report No Pharmaceutical, Device or Testing Product Marketer Should Be Without
If wellness programs are effective, there should be an impact on all healthcare industries: pharmaceuticals, devices and diagnostics. Positive impact for some, negative for others. As part of Kalorama's unique analysis on this topic, this report also takes a look at how the popularity of wellness programs will effect other markets. The report estimates the positive or negative sales impact of wellness programs upon established U.S. markets for various health care products and services including:

• Allergy Medicines
• Cholesterol Reducers
• Diabetes Drugs
• Gastrointestinal Medications/Proton Pump Inhibitors
• Hypertension Medicines
• Over-the-Counter (OTC) Medicines
• Influenza Vaccines
• Cervical Cancer Vaccines
• Diagnostic Tests
• Cardiovascular, Gastric Banding, and other Devices
• Surgeries,
• Imaging

Within each of these market segments, products, services and/or sub-segments were selected that will particularly be affected by wellness programs. Products, services and/or sub-segments that are not expected to be significantly impacted were not included.

Sales estimates for each market segment represent U.S. revenues and are expressed in current dollars. Estimates are provided for the historic 2004 - 2008 period and forecasts are provided through 2013.

Interviews with company representatives and other experts were conducted to capture the perspectives from industry participants’ point of view and assess trends, and form the basis of the forecasting and competitive analysis.

Browse All Kalorama Information Reports at Kalorama Information

As Kalorama Information's lead diagnostic analyst finds, the point of care concept is at a crossroads: the technologies needed to make rapid testing a reality are here. But is healthcare ready?

The drive for wellness and the attention surrounding healthcare reform will surely focus attention on rapid diagnostics. However, according to Shara Rosen, RT, M.B.A., there are many challenges which must be overcome for point of care solutions to fit, and those companies willing to pivot strategies and best adjust to changes in the healthcare marketplace may be rewarded.

This report, Point of Care Diagnostics 2010: Rapid Testing at a Crossroads represents the most current analysis of the role of Point of Care Diagnostics in today's in vitro industry. Other reports have looked at products, companies and market forecasts, as this report does. But in her analysis Shara Rosen takes a bold look into the markets, technologies, and trends in decentralized testing with a special focus on the economics of rapid test use in critical care and emergency medicine. The report includes:

• Markets for POC Diagnostics(Diabetes, Cardiac markers, Clinical Chemistry/Critical Care, Hematology, Coagulation, Drugs of Abuse/Therapeutic Drug Monitoring, Infectious Diseases, Pharmacodiagnostics, Sepsis, Oncology, Women’s health / Pregnancy/Fertility)
• By Venue Revenue Estimates for Hospital POC, Physician POC and Other Venue
• Review of Products in the Market
• Forecasts to 2013
• Markets and Forecasts for Self-Testing (OTC)
• The role of EMR in the Point of Care Market
• Possible Effects of Healthcare Reform
• POLs, Home Monitoring, Alternate Samples and Other Trends
• Successful Strategies of POC Companies
• Profiles of Over 100 CompaniesCompeting in this Market

There are many factors in the growth of POC testing- increasing numbers of diagnosed diabetics, people with cardiovascular disease, and other chronic conditions. It is also expected to play a role in a trend in health care to evaluate provider organizations for quality in care delivery. While this quality imperative is most apparent in pay-for-performance systems, it also provides a framework by which public funds can be used more rationally. This is an especially relevant technology given the U.S. healthcare reform efforts.

All countries are feeling the brunt of aging populations and an increased burden of chronic disease management. Employers and insurance companies are interested in improving the health of customers, and there are some innovative tactics developing in this area. The report is conservative in its predictions and offers a calculated look into the future, based on events currently taking place.

The report offers a quantitative assessment of specific markets in US dollars for 2008 and forecasted out to 2013. These data are provided in order to set the status quo of tests and technologies. However the report concentrates on how these will impact the economics of healthcare over the near term and longer when possible.
