The report also profiles leading technology vendors selling digital health solutions in those countries and evaluates their market positions and strategies.

“Western Europe and Canada have the most interesting digital health initiatives outside the U.S.,” said Harry Wang, Senior Analyst with Parks Associates. “While the market for digital health solutions is still at the germination stage in those nations, the seeds for a full blossom have been sowed by their governments.
