Recent Developments by Market Players Drive Nurse Call Systems Market Growth

Nurse call systems facilitate highly reliable and flexible communications between patients and nurses. The rising number of patients in healthcare facilities, and the adoption of new and better ways to scale the communication, workflow, and management for achieving quality in patient care are expected to support the nurse call systems market progress. The market is majorly driven by changes or shifting trends in technology. Innovative products assist in the generation of better results, which helps patients live a better life. The nurse call systems market is consolidated with the presence of various leaders focused on innovations. In June 2023, Cornell Communications announced its plan to bring fundamental improvements in the value and utilization of nurse call systems for senior care communities through the unique use of a multimedia engine. Cornell is the first company to build Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) capability directly into its platform engine to accommodate everything from staff's text or chat to two-way resident and community voice communication, video, and more. This integration makes its InFORM I A Mobile nurse call solution more efficient and easier to use in senior care facilities.

In May 2023, West-Com Nurse Call Systems and Vitalchat partnered to provide hospitals and other healthcare facilities in the US with virtual care solutions enabled by artificial intelligence to meet the needs and demands of patients, caregivers, and IT leaders. In January 2021, TigerConnect—a provider of the most advanced, reliable, and widely adopted care team collaboration solution—announced the acquisition of Critical Alert, a leading provider of enterprise-grade middleware for hospitals and health systems. Critical Alert's portfolio consists of middleware suite products as well as traditional nurse call hardware, servicing over 200 hospitals in North America. The combination of TigerConnect's robust product suite with Critical Alert middleware would help transform hospitals and healthcare organizations into the real-time health systems of the future. Thus, product launches, acquisitions, innovations, partnerships, and other recent developments aimed at improving the efficiency and effectiveness of systems, along with ensuring high-quality care in a more connected and responsive manner, bolster the nurse call systems market.

Alzheimer's disease, a form of dementia, is a progressive disorder that eventually results in the loss of memory and deterioration of cognitive skills. Alzheimer's patients are at a high risk of falls and wandering in care facilities. Nurse call systems alert the staff immediately when a patient experiences a fall or tries to leave the designated area. These systems help in providing prompt intervention. Alzheimer's disease is among the six leading causes of death in the US. Data published in 2024 by the Alzheimer's Association states that approximately 6.9 million Americans are suffering from this disease, and the number is expected to rise to approximately 13 million by 2050. In addition, it is also stated that the number of death cases due to Alzheimer's disease has doubled from 2000 to 2021. Health and long-term care costs for dementia patients are projected to reach US$ 360 billion in 2024 and nearly US$ 1 trillion by 2050. In 2023, unpaid caregivers required an estimated 18.4 billion hours of care, valued at nearly US$ 350 billion.

As per the Alzheimer Society of Canada, 733,040 people in Canada were suffering from dementia in January 2024, and the number is expected to reach 1.7 million by 2050. It also stated that by 2030, the number of people in Canada living with dementia could increase by 65% compared to 2020, reaching 990,600 from 597,300. Additionally, Alzheimer's Research UK estimated that ~982,000 people are living with dementia in the UK, and the number is expected to reach 1.4 million by 2040. Thus, an alarming rise in the number of Alzheimer's disease patients propels demand for nurse call systems in healthcare settings.

The nurse call systems market analysis has been carried out by considering the following segments: equipment, technology, application, end user, and geography. The market, based on equipment, is segmented into integrated communication systems, button systems, mobile systems, and intercom systems. In 2023, the integrated communication systems segment held the largest nurse call systems market share. Integrated healthcare communication systems combine traditional nurse call systems with a variety of complementary communications technologies and management tools such as pocket paging, tracer locating, wireless telephones, and management software. These integrated communication systems enable a fast and flexible approach for patient-to-staff and staff-to-staff communications, which provides them an edge over traditional nurse call systems. They can streamline communications by linking advanced wireless technologies with traditional tools, such as bed stations and nurse consoles. They can also improve portability while aiding faster communication between caregivers and patients in healthcare facilities.

Based on the technology, the market is segmented into wired systems and wireless systems. In 2023, the wired segment held a larger share of the market. By application, the market is segmented into emergency medical alarms, wanderer control, workflow support, and others. The emergency medical alarms segment accounted for the largest nurse call systems market share in 2023. Hospitals, clinics, and nursing homes have several patients who are admitted for severe, semi-severe, and minor health complications. Patients with severe health conditions need continuous monitoring to control and maintain their health conditions. Therefore, communication is required between nurses, doctors, and other medical staff members. Emergency rooms require high attention and quick response. Nurse call systems create an alarm at the press of a single button and enable nurses to take quick action. Emergency rooms are equipped with various other medical devices and equipment, which are at a high risk of improper functioning due to interference. Emergency medical alarms created by nurse call systems allow the staff to take immediate rescue actions in case of mishaps. Thus, emergency medical alarms create real-time alerts and allow staff members to respond in minimal time; moreover, they help in two-way communications, thereby improving work efficiency and reducing healthcare costs.

Based on end user, the nurse call systems market is segmented into hospitals, nursing homes and assisted living centers, clinics, and others. In 2023, the hospital segment held the largest market share.

The geographic scope of the nurse call systems market report includes the assessment of the market performance in North America (US, Canada, and Mexico), Europe (Spain, UK, Germany, France, Italy, and Rest of Europe), Asia Pacific (South Korea, China, India, Japan, Australia, and Rest of Asia Pacific), South & Central America (Brazil, Argentina, and Rest of South & Central America), and the Middle East & Africa (South Africa, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Rest of Middle East & Africa).
