Market Driver - Growing demand for home healthcare devices (telehealth)
Global outbreak of COVID-19 highlighted the importance of remote patient monitoring and home healthcare solutions. With hospitals overwhelmed and people hesitate to visit clinics, there has been huge demand for connected medical devices that can monitor critical health parameters from homes. Technologies like remote patient monitoring solutions, wireless vital sign monitors, and telehealth services are gaining wide acceptance among patients, physicians as well as healthcare systems. Connected blood pressure monitors, glucose meters, weight scales, pulse oximeters and other home use medical equipment are being increasingly used for management of chronic conditions like diabetes, hypertension, respiratory diseases. This allows high risk patients and elderly population to stay safely isolated inside homes while doctors can continuously track their health status from distance through smart devices and telemedicine. Various startups are innovating new telehealth solutions including AI powered virtual medical assistants that can answer basic health queries and recommend care instructions remotely. The COVID-19 pandemic offered new opportunities for telemedicine companies and digital health solution providers. Governments across countries have also relaxed regulations temporarily to boost the adoption of telehealth. Reimbursement policies are being revised to cover remote patient consultations and virtual visits. Hospitals associations and private health insurers are promoting home healthcare devices reimbursed under insurance. This growing support and awareness compel people to adopt smartphones based medical apps and wireless connected instruments for managing health outside clinics.
Growing preference for self-monitoring and preventive medicine
Fast paced lifestyle with rising health consciousness lead to increasing emphasis on self-management of health through digital means. Continuous tracking of vital signs, activity levels and other biomarkers at home is preferred over occasional visits to hospital clinics. Connected wearable devices have gained widespread popularity in self-monitoring of metrics like heart rate, blood oxygen, calories burned and quality of sleep. Fitness trackers, smartwatches and health apps are used by millions to collect personal health insights on regular basis.
Growing focus on preventive healthcare can also boost demand for connected medical devices for self-use. Conditions like hypertension and obesity can now be detected early through constant monitoring enabled by inexpensive devices. Early detection helps prevent progression to serious disorders and save costs of advanced treatment at later stages. Technologies like glucose monitors help diabetes patients regulate their diet and insulin requirements to keep the condition under control. Real-time health insights empower individuals to proactively improve lifestyle habits and seek prompt medical advice as needed. Preference for non-invasive, continuous remote monitoring solutions rather than periodic hospital tests reflects changing consumer attitudes towards ownership over personal health. Device manufacturers are actively developing smart sensors and AI-powered analytics to provide deeper, more clinically relevant insights to users. Cloud connectivity allows sharing data with doctors/caregivers in real-time for guided care. The self-monitoring trend combined with emphasis on preventive healthcare boosts adoption of connected medical devices that enhance individual health management including timely disease detection and prevention.
