- Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) refer to the non-medical factors that influence health outcomes, including socioeconomic status, education, neighborhood and physical environment, employment, and access to healthcare. These determinants are increasingly recognized as critical components in achieving equitable healthcare delivery
- The demand for SDOH solutions is significantly driven by the shift towards value-based care models, growing awareness of health disparities, and the need to improve population health outcomes. Government mandates, policy reforms, and funding for health equity initiatives are also fueling market growth
- North America stands out as one of the dominant regions in the SDOH market, attributed to strong federal support, widespread adoption of healthcare IT, and proactive efforts by healthcare providers to integrate SDOH data into patient care strategies
- For instance, the major U.S. healthcare systems are increasingly partnering with data analytics firms and community organizations to implement SDOH-informed care models, aiming to reduce hospital readmissions and improve chronic disease management
- Globally, SDOH analytics platforms are emerging as a crucial tool in public health and clinical decision-making, second only to Electronic Health Records (EHRs), helping healthcare providers deliver more personalized, preventive, and effective care
