Telemedicine Device Market to Reach $3.6 Billion According to New Study

The market for telemedicine devices and services will generate $3.6 billion in annual revenue within five years, a new study claims. The study by the Silver Spring, Md.-based research firm Pike & Fischer, says mobile-services companies, such as AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and Nextel, will take a sizeable chunk of the business. It predicts that smaller software and device manufacturers likely will be targets for acquisition.

The need to control health care costs, as well as advances in wireless broadband networks, smart phones and data compression technologies, will fuel telemedicine growth, the report states. Funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act also will support a surge in broadband-enabled telemedicine services, such as remote patient monitoring and mobile access to electronic health records, it adds.

Wireless applications, devices and services will account for more than 70% of the telemedicine market within five years, according to the report.

Samsung seemingly confirms upcoming Galaxy S4 Mega

Because Samsung isn’t already prepping enough new variants of the wildly popular Galaxy S4, a new “Galaxy S4 Mega” is reportedly under development as well and has been confirmed by Samsung. The Galaxy S4 mini, Galaxy S4 Active, Galaxy S4 Zoom and Galaxy S4 Google Edition with stock Android Jelly Bean are all expected to debut in the coming weeks and months, and now a phablet version of the S4 looks like it has been confirmed in a recent update to Samsung’s WatchOn TV app discovered by SamMobile.

Video: Sony teases PlayStation 4 hardware unveiling with blurry console photos

A video game console’s exterior hardware is undoubtedly the least important part of the gaming experience, but fans were still angry when the PlayStation 4 event came and went with no physical console having been unveiled.

Apple reportedly testing 1.5-inch OLED ‘iWatch’ displays

With Apple’s “iWatch” likely to release this year, it’s not surprising that we’re starting to hear rumors about components being cobbled together just before the company starts ramping up production of the device. Japanese blog Macotakara points us to a new report from Taiwanese publication Economic Times claiming that Apple is testing out 1.5-inch OLED displays produced by RITEK subsidiary RiTdisplay for its upcoming smartwatch. Macotakara notes that earlier rumors claimed the iWatch would have a 1.8-inch display, so it seems that Apple may be thinking of reducing the device’s size if it’s really giving 1.5-inch panels a long look.
