Market Insights
Rising Prevalence of Chronic Diseases
According to the National Health Council (NHC) report, chronic disease affects approx. 133 million Americans, representing more than 40% of the total population in the US alone. Additionally, about half of all adults have a chronic condition, with approx. 8% of children are affected at the age of 5 to 17, reporting suffering from at least one chronic disease or disability. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report in the US alone, chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes are the leading causes of death and disability, accounting for US$4.1 trillion in healthcare costs annually. The most impacting factors of the US population suffering from chronic diseases include high exposure to tobacco and smoking, poor nutrition, less physical activity, and excessive alcohol use. Therefore, there is a high adoption of smart medical devices globally that interacts with the physical systems of the population suffering from health ailments, offering significant safety implications. For example, heart disease is the leading cause of death globally. Therefore, an artificial heart remains only a temporary solution until a donor is found for carrying implant cardiac surgery. However, the adoption of smart devices proves beneficial for the early discovery of abnormalities to avoid long-term damage or predict the risk of cardiac arrest.
Further, several companies are launching innovative smart medical device products. For example, in April 2022, Abbott announced a partnership with CamDiab and Ypsomed to develop and commercialize an integrated automated insulin delivery (AID) system. The new AID system will lessen the burden of round-the-clock diabetes management for people who have diabetes. Also, the new AID system will be designed to connect with "Abbott's FreeStyle Libre 3 Sensor" to "CamDiab's CamAPS FX mobile app" and, finally, Ypsomed's "YpsoPump" to create an innovative and automated process to deliver insulin based on real-time glucose data.
Therefore, the high adoption of smart medical devices for managing chronic diseases among the population for early detection of disease is a standalone factor responsible for the influential growth of the market in the forecast period 2021-2031.
Future Trend
Technological Advancement
Technological progress is advancing scientific knowledge, reducing costs, and presenting the healthcare sector with innovative medical devices and procedures capable of diagnosing, monitoring, and treating medical conditions. Also, the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) approval of new innovative smart medical device products further enhances the adoption among the population globally to improve patient care and reduce operational costs. The "Vios Chest Sensor" is a wireless device and is one such example of an FDA-approved medical device. The "Vios Chest Sensor" enables continuous monitoring of a patient's vital signs data, and its small size and wireless connectivity offer a 7-lead ECG, heart rate, respiratory rate, SpO2, pulse rate, posture, and activity. The "Vios Central Station Monitor and Software solution enables monitoring of vital signs of multiple patients simultaneously and intuitively navigates between screens to view vital signs summary information or customized patient reports. Thus, technological advancement in smart medical devices could propel the growth of the smart medical device market in the future.
