Patient Monitoring Devices are Used to Constantly Monitor Patients to Detect and Record Changes In Patient Wellbeing
Patient Monitoring Devices |
Patient
monitoring devices are medical devices used to collect and display
physiological data. Cardiac monitoring devices such as Holter monitor, mobile
cardiac telemetry, event recorder, and insertable cardiac monitor are commonly
used by doctors or physicians. Patient monitoring devices are widely used to
monitor vital signs (such as heart rate, blood pressure, and others). This
devices are often used to monitor patients, gathers medical data, and securely
pass that data to the doctors at other location for clinical review.
According to
Coherent Market Insights, The global patient
monitoring devices market is estimated to account for US$ 22,869.5 Mn
in terms of value in 2020 and is expected to reach US$ 35,209.0 Mn by the end
of 2027.
Remote patient monitoring is an emerging
technology to allow monitoring of patients outside clinical facilities,
including in a remote location or at home, that can reduce medical delivery
costs and increase access to quality healthcare. This allows doctors or
healthcare providers to access detailed information about a patient's
healthcare from the comfort of their own home. For those who live with chronic
health conditions or disabilities, this type of care is lifesaving and can save
them a great deal of money on healthcare premiums.
Patient
monitoring devices are used to collect patient
health data from one location, and the information is transmitted
electronically to the doctors in facilities such as intensive care units,
hospitals, and nursing facilities for the assessment. Moreover, patient
monitoring devices help control healthcare expenditure by reducing hospital
stays, encourages patients to shift to self-care, and avoid hospital
readmissions, with reliable diagnosis. They allow physicians to take vital
decisions to ensure efficient treatment for various physiological parameters.
The outbreak of COVID-19 (pandemic) has
also increased the demand for patient monitoring devices around the world. For
example, in March 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) issued
guidance for expanded use of certain patient monitoring devices to facilitate
patient management while limiting physician-patient contact during the COVID-19
pandemic to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus.
