Global Bioelectric Medicine Market – Trends
- Miniaturization of devices: Miniaturization of devices has significantly impacted the global bioelectric medicine market. With advancements in micro and nanotechnologies, it has become possible to develop highly miniaturized implantable and wearable devices for biological monitoring and therapeutic applications. Many startups and large medical device companies are investing heavily in designing miniaturized biosensors, neural interfaces, and stimulators that can be implanted or worn on the body non-invasively. One of the most notable impacts of device miniaturization can be witnessed in the neuromodulation segment. Earlier devices used for neuromodulation like deep brain stimulators were quite large in size and required invasive brain surgery. However, recent innovations have led to the development of ultra-miniaturized neural implants that can be implanted by using minimally invasive techniques. For instance, in 2021, Mayo Clinic, nonprofit American academic medical center focused on integrated health care, education, and research. Researchers have designed a miniaturized spinal cord stimulator that is 30% smaller than previous models. At 4mm wide and 2.5mm thick, it can be implanted near the spinal cord through a small incision and help to treat chronic pain conditions. Similarly, startup Synchron, a medical device start-up has developed a small implant the size of a grain of rice that can be placed near the brain to deliver stimulations for treating neurological and psychiatric disorders.
