Lifestyle disease apps are digital platforms created to assist users in preventing and managing chronic diseases by monitoring factors like diet, physical activity, sleep, and stress. Their primary purpose is to encourage healthier behaviors, facilitate early health issue detection, and offer personalized digital support for sustained wellness.
The primary categories of lifestyle disease apps include prevention apps, management apps, monitoring apps, diagnostic apps, and wellness apps. Prevention apps focus on lowering the risk of chronic illnesses by encouraging healthy habits through personalized assessments, tracking tools, and lifestyle-specific wellness advice. These apps operate on various platforms such as iOS, Android, and others, and are compatible with devices including smartphones, tablets, wearable health trackers, and smartwatches. They are used in areas like diabetes management, cardiovascular health, hypertension monitoring, and chronic respiratory disease care, serving end users such as healthcare providers, individual consumers, corporate wellness programs, and insurance companies.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sudden escalation of U.S. tariffs and the consequent trade frictions in spring 2025 are severely impacting the healthcare sector, particularly in the supply of critical medical devices, diagnostic equipment, and pharmaceuticals. Hospitals and healthcare providers are facing higher costs for imported surgical instruments, imaging equipment, and consumables such as syringes and catheters, many of which have limited domestic alternatives. These increased costs are straining healthcare budgets, leading some providers to delay equipment upgrades or pass on expenses to patients. Additionally, tariffs on raw materials and components are disrupting the production of essential drugs and devices, causing supply chain bottlenecks. In response, the industry is diversifying sourcing strategies, boosting local manufacturing where possible, and advocating for tariff exemptions on life-saving medical products.

The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the rising prevalence of lifestyle-related chronic diseases, the widespread adoption of smartphones worldwide, increased awareness of digital health solutions, expanding internet access in urban regions, and a growing demand for self-monitoring tools.
The lifestyle disease apps market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $13.30 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.6%. The growth anticipated in the forecast period can be linked to an increasing emphasis on preventive healthcare solutions, greater incorporation of mental wellness features into lifestyle apps, expanded use of mobile apps for personalized health coaching, wider availability of multilingual health platforms, and enhanced digital engagement among older populations. Key trends during this period include advancements in AI-powered health tracking, innovations in integrating apps with wearable devices, rising investments in mobile health startups, development of personalized behavioral analytics tools, and ongoing research in predictive health modeling.
The growing penetration of smartphones and internet access is expected to drive the expansion of the lifestyle disease apps market in the future. Smartphone and internet penetration refers to the increasing number of individuals using internet-enabled mobile devices to access digital services and information. This growth is fueled by more affordable mobile data plans, as telecom companies compete to provide low-cost, high-speed connectivity. Widespread mobile internet availability allows more users to utilize digital health tools, supporting the adoption of lifestyle disease applications. For example, in February 2024, Uswitch Limited, a UK-based financial conduct authority, reported that starting in 2022, there were 71.8 million smartphones in the UK, marking a 3.8% increase (about 2.6 million) from 2021. By 2025, the UK population will reach 68.3 million, with 95% (approximately 65 million people) expected to own smartphones. Additionally, in February 2024, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), a Switzerland-based agency specializing in information and communication technologies, noted that in 2023, around 5.4 billion people-67% of the global population-used the internet, an increase of 4.9 billion from 2021. Thus, the rise in smartphone and internet penetration is propelling the growth of the lifestyle disease apps market.
Key players in the lifestyle disease apps market are concentrating on developing sophisticated solutions like remote patient monitoring mobile platforms to enhance chronic disease management and improve communication between patients and healthcare providers. Remote patient monitoring (RPM) platforms are digital tools that use smartphones or tablets to track vital signs and health data in real time. These platforms support early detection of health issues, improve management of chronic diseases, and reduce the frequency of clinic visits. For instance, in November 2024, Mega Lifesciences Nigeria Ltd., a pharmaceutical and healthcare services company based in Nigeria, launched the We Care Diabetes App, a mobile platform for managing diabetes. The app provides features such as real-time blood glucose tracking, professional health coaching, and medical record storage, empowering patients-especially in underserved regions-to take an active role in managing their diabetes through data-driven insights. The We Care Diabetes App marks a strategic effort to make digital chronic care more accessible and relevant to populations in low- and middle-income countries.
In April 2024, OMRON Healthcare Co. Ltd., a Japan-based provider of medical equipment and digital health solutions, acquired Luscii Healthtech for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is part of OMRON's strategy to expand beyond blood pressure monitoring by incorporating Luscii's advanced digital platform into its existing ecosystem. This integration will enable real-time health data tracking, early disease detection, and proactive intervention for patients with chronic lifestyle diseases. Luscii Healthtech, based in the Netherlands, offers customizable platforms and apps that help patients with chronic hypertension, cardiovascular, and respiratory conditions receive care from home.
