subject: Vision Shopsters:remote & Wireless Patient Monitoring Markets [print this page] Patient monitoring systems are emerging in response to increased healthcare needs of an aging population, new wireless technologies, better video and monitoring technologies, decreasing healthcare resources, an emphasis on reducing hospital days, and proven cost-effectiveness.
Of these new high-tech patient monitoring systems, nearly all focus on some form of wireless or remote patient monitoring. Advances in remote patient monitoring include new peripherals, real-time audio and video for face-to-face interaction between clinicians and patients, wireless communication, systems that sort the vast amount of data collected in order to put it into the context of a patients condition, portable and ambulatory monitors, web-based access to the patient record, systems that transfer data to an electronic medical record (EMR), and full-service outsourcing that includes a clinician to evaluate data and send a report to the attending physician.
This Kalorama Information report, Remote & Wireless Patient Monitoring Markets covers three product areas: wireless and remote patient monitors, patient data processing applications and equipment, and EMR data transfer equipment and applications, which coordinate the flow of data to hospital electronic medical record system. Wireless and remote technologies include all patient monitoring that transmit data either within an institution via wireless or intranet, and all technologies that monitor a patient and forward the data to another party or application. There are four primary markets for these new technologies, which are as follows:
* Hospitals;
* Home healthcare;
* Nursing homes; and
* Other (including first responders, institutional, physician offices, and military)
This report breaks out the market for high tech remote and wireless patient monitoring systems by these usage areas. But the report also by disase category for the following areas:
* Asthma
* COPD
* CHF
* CHD
* Diabetes
* Other
Patient data processing applications and equipment use algorithms to evaluate monitoring measurements for a patients specific condition(s). Usually, these can be customized by the physician, with reports sent to the physician. In the market for high-tech patient monitoring systems, the applications and equipment are either integrated into the patient monitoring system or are add-ons to the measuring systems. As with data processing, EMR data transfer equipment and applications for this report are either components of, or add-ons to, patient monitoring systems. This report does not include EMR applications. In general, the applications in this segment transfer data to third-party EMRs.
Most players in the market are discussed as part of Kalorama's competitive analysis of the remote patient monitoring market. As part of our coverage of the marketplace for remote and wireless systems, the followiing companies are profiled in detail in this report:
* Abbott Laboratories, Inc
* Aerotel Medical Systems
* GE Healthcare
* Honeywell HomMed LLC
* Intel Corporation
* Philips Medical Systems
* Roche Diagnostics Corporation
This report was constructed using both a primary and secondary research approach. Annual reports, trade publications and other sources were thoroughly researched, but interviews were conducted among industry executives were used to make assessments of markets and to discover trends and construct forecasts.
In addition to being a resource for major pharmaceutical, diagnostic and healthcare IT companies, Kalorama Information has been utilized by: The Economist, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Health and Imaging IT Magazine, Fierce EMR, and many other publications for reporting on markets.To know more about this report & to buy a copy please visit :http://www.visionshopsters.com/product/3065/Remote-Wireless-Patient-Monitoring-Markets.htmlContact us:VisionshopstersPh : 91-22-40583020Email: marketing@visionshopsters.comWebsite : www.visionshopsters.comby: Visionshopsters
