Demand for Self-care Medical Devices to Surge with the Emergence of Covid-19 and Rising Geriatric Population
According
to a recent report by Coherent Market Insights, the market for self-care
medical devices is expected to witness significant growth. The market includes
a variety of devices for monitoring, measuring and maintaining vital personal
health parameters of patients including blood pressure, cholesterol and heart
rate monitor. The increasing self-care focus in many countries is based on the
belief that an integrated approach between medical and psychological therapy
can help to improve overall health and well-being.
As
the population ages and obesity are a major factor behind this condition, the
global self-care
medical devices industry is seeing a shift towards prevention and
fitness of elderly and disabled individuals. In the coming years, innovative
products for elderly care are expected to offer better assistance with
mobility, comfort and independence of the elderly. In addition, as people grow
older and the physical effects of age begin to take their toll, it is
anticipated that there will be increased need for products that address the
needs of senior citizens.
With
the emergence of Covid-19, the demand for self-care medical devices is further
expected to increase. In Germany, from 3 January 2020 to 6:18pm CEST, 8 July
2021, there have been 3,733,519 confirmed cases of COVID-19 with 91,141 deaths,
reported to WHO. Monitoring and measuring devices for measuring vital signs of
individuals, especially those with disabilities, are also in demand in the
global self-care medical devices industry. These monitoring devices are
designed to allow for proper evaluation and diagnosis of conditions based on a
patient's specific measurement. For example, a blood pressure monitor can be
used to measure normal and abnormal blood pressures at regular intervals in a
patient's life. Such technology is now being applied in the healthcare industry
to monitor diseases and monitor the progress of disease-based treatments. A
patient's oxygen saturation is now being monitored to ensure optimal patient
comfort and to prevent adverse medical conditions that can threaten a patient's
overall health.
