The primary components of personal health record software include software and mobile applications, along with associated services. Software and mobile applications are computer programs and applications developed to operate on a range of computing devices, including desktop computers, laptops, smartphones, and tablets. These solutions can be deployed in various modes, such as cloud-based and web-based deployments, and may incorporate different architectures, including payer-tethered, provider-tethered, and standalone setups.
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 sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the healthcare sector, especially in the supply of essential medical devices, diagnostic equipment, and pharmaceuticals. Hospitals and healthcare providers are grappling with higher costs for imported surgical tools, imaging systems, and consumables like syringes and catheters, many of which have limited domestic substitutes. These escalating expenses are putting pressure on healthcare budgets, prompting some providers to delay equipment upgrades or pass increased costs on to patients. Furthermore, tariffs on raw materials and components are disrupting the manufacturing of vital drugs and devices, leading to supply chain delays. In response, the industry is adopting diversified sourcing strategies, expanding local production where feasible, and pushing for tariff exemptions on critical medical products.

The personal health record software market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $10.14 billion in 2024 to $11 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the market demand and supply, government initiatives, integration with traditional record keeping, increased chronic disease management, consumer demand for accessible healthcare information.
The personal health record software market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $15.85 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for centralizing and streamlining healthcare information, rising initiatives to promote patient-centric care, increasing awareness and adoption among consumers. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing government initiatives to promote patient-centric care, growing demand for centralizing and streamlining healthcare information, rising awareness among patients about medical information storage and management.
The forecast of 9.6% growth over the next five years reflects a slight reduction of 0.2% from the previous projection. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Tariff escalations are likely to burden U.S. healthcare systems by driving up the cost of interoperable Personal Health Record platforms and patient portal solutions sourced from India and Estonia, exacerbating digital health implementation costs and limiting patient data accessibility. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The increasing demand for digital health solutions is poised to drive the growth of the personal health record software market in the foreseeable future. Digital health solutions involve the incorporation of technology and digital tools into healthcare delivery to enhance efficiency, accessibility, quality of care, and patient outcomes. Personal health record software plays a crucial role within digital health solutions by empowering patients, facilitating care coordination, improving clinical decision-making, and ultimately promoting better health outcomes. For example, as reported by the Australian Digital Health Agency in August 2022, a significant number of telehealth services were provided between 2020 and 2022, benefiting millions of patients and practitioners. Additionally, a survey conducted by Rock Health in February 2023 revealed a surge in telemedicine adoption, with a substantial percentage of respondents accessing care remotely. Consequently, the escalating demand for digital health solutions is fueling the growth of the personal health record software market.
Major companies in the personal health record software market are directing their efforts towards advancements in AI technology, exemplified by solutions such as AWS HealthScribe, owing to the significant benefits of AI integration in healthcare software. AWS HealthScribe is a novel generative AI-powered service that automatically generates clinical documentation from patient-clinician conversations. For instance, in July 2023, Amazon Web Services (AWS) launched AWS HealthScribe, a HIPAA-eligible service aimed at helping healthcare software providers develop clinical applications utilizing speech recognition and generative AI to create initial clinical notes from doctor-patient discussions. This service is designed to expedite clinical documentation, improve consultation efficiency, and enhance medical scribe workflow efficiency. By leveraging speech recognition and generative AI, healthcare software vendors can develop clinical applications that generate preliminary clinical notes, thereby streamlining consultations and optimizing medical scribe workflows.
