Advantages of IoT in Healthcare

Image
Visualize a house where your shower runs a quick, non-invasive health check when you step in, and your bed is armed with sensors that can sense any signs of unkind health. Collected information gets shared across different home devices and offers alarms to guarantee your health is not compromised. Such scenarios are slowly becoming reality. In several cases, home care technologies can successfully replace conventional healthcare technologies. Telemedicine, precisely, has become gradually popular in the last few years, as people across generations are not able to access health consultants in a conventional, in-person setting. To simplify this, with earlier understood problems like wait times and high healthcare expenses, home care technologies are in high demand. Telemedicine technologies also allow the remote exchange of data, commonly through virtual mediums, among physicians and patients. Taking appointments through the phone, a video call, or an app aids patients to decrease commute

Increasing Occurrence of Spinal Cord Injuries Powering Sales of Exoskeletons

Image
The growing prevalence of stroke and spinal cord injuries (SCIs) is fueling the surge in the demand for exoskeletons in several healthcare settings such as rehabilitation centers across the world. In the healthcare industry, exoskeletons are used for helping paralyzed patients walk. For example, as per the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center (NSCISC), in the U.S., there are around 54 cases of SCIs per one million people, or nearly 17,730 new SCI cases are reported every year. Furthermore, in the U.S., the average number of people suffering from spinal cord injuries is 291,000, with various individual estimates falling in the range of 249,000–363,000. The surging geriatric population in several countries is also fueling the demand for exoskeletons. As per the World Population Ageing 2019 report published by the UN, the total number of people in the age bracket- 65 years or above across the world was 703 million in 2019. Moreover, the public awareness about exoskeletons and th

Wound Closure Products Market Growth, Trends and Research Report

PPE Kits Usage Preventing Coronavirus Transmission

Image
Personal protective equipment (PPE) refers to specialized equipment or clothing worn by frontline workers, including medical and sanitation workers, for protection against infectious diseases and materials. A standard PPE kit includes masks, gloves, face shields, gowns, head covers, shoe covers, goggles, respirators, and eye protection units. The kit prevents any contact with an infectious agent by creating a barrier between the healthcare worker and potential infectious material. Governments across the world have laid guidelines regarding the development of PPE to prevent work-related death, illness, and injury. With the outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19), the requirement for PPE kits has exponential surged, as the virus has affected every corner of the world. The virus is still affecting millions of people and is straining healthcare resources of all countries by creating high demand for this protective gear. On account of the rising prevalence of COVID-19, the personal protective eq

Air Pollution To Take Nebulizer Market to Cross $1,698.1 Million by 2030

Image
Air pollution kills over 7 million people around the world each year, says the World Health Organization (WHO). To make matters worse, the level of contamination in the air is rising sharply, especially in emerging economies such as China and India. This factor would be instrumental in driving the global nebulizer market from $765.1 million in 2019 to $1,698.1 million in 2030 at a steady 7.4% CAGR between 2020 and 2030. For instance, the air quality index (AQI) in Delhi in 2019 oscillated between 300 and 1,000, which is considered extremely dangerous. Households, manufacturing units, thermal power plants, and the transport sector are the key sources of air pollution, which are leading to an increase in the deaths attributed to asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other respiratory issues. This is driving the nebulizer market, as such appliances are used to aerosolize the medication and deliver it directly to the lungs. In today’s times, nebulizer sales are rising r
