Advanced patient monitoring to exceed $49 billion by 2021

Rockville, Maryland – Kalorama Information sees 7% annual revenue growth in the next 5 years for systems designed to monitor patients remotely and send information to the EMR of a healthcare organization. That's double the global medical device market's average rate of growth, according to the healthcare market research firm. Kalorama says the aging population, the need for cost efficiency in healthcare and staff shortages are among the drivers for these systems. Kalorama has been tracking advanced patient monitoring since 2007 and its report, Advanced Remote Patient Monitoring Systems, in its ninth edition, is a comprehensive study on the patient monitoring industry, containing detailed market estimates and forecasts.

The global market will likely experience healthy growth throughout the forecast period, exceeding a value of $49 billion by 2021. Growth in the advanced patient monitoring technologies will be due to several factors, of which some examples include:

• Replacement of older, low-technology equipment with new wireless or remote units 
• Growing acceptability and knowledge of technology features and benefits
• Additional monitoring efforts in an effort to alleviate healthcare problems before they require hospitalization or emergency department visits 
• New technological advancements in the area of wireless connectivity 
• Government incentives and rebates
• Growing demands for health facilities

The Kalorama report shows that there are a huge number of companies offering some form of wireless and remote technologies, patient data processing applications and equipment, and EMR data transfer equipment. The home healthcare and other sectors are much more fragmented and are dominated by privately held companies. The top five contributors to the market include: Medtronic, Philips Medical, St. Jude Medical, Boston Scientific, and GE Healthcare

Advanced Remote Patient Monitoring Systems specifically focuses on technologically advanced (including wireless and remote) patient monitors, monitors with patient data processing applications, and monitors which are capable of data transfer to an EMR system – including equipment and peripherals that coordinate the flow of data to hospital electronic medical record (EMR) systems.
