Patient care has become a complex affair with a growing number of chronic diseases and their high prevalence in all parts of the world. For instance, the World Health Organization (WHO) states that by 2030 cardiovascular diseases will be the leading cause of deaths across the world. This shocking statistic has urged a large number of healthcare providers to offer solutions that are easily accessible and are affordable to the majority of consumers. Companies such as GE Healthcare, Boston Scientific Corporation, Philips Healthcare, Nihon Kohden Corporation, Siemens Healthcare, St. Jude Medical, Inc., and Welch Allyn, Inc. are all working towards devising simple solutions for the complicated matters of the heart.
New Devices to Offer Preventive Measure to Users
A recent research published by the European Society of Cardiology shows that introduction of next-generation smartwatches and devices, along with technological advancements, are bringing heart rate monitoring technology to the fingertips of a wide and growing consumer base. These devices come with an impressive ability to identify and diagnose arrhythmias including atrial fibrillation. With features such as connectivity, portability, and activity tracking, these devices are offering the best possible alternatives to non-invasive arrhythmia detection. These devices are expected to challenge the growth trajectory of the conventional cardiovascular monitoring and diagnostic devices market and revolutionize disease management for many users. They will also play a pivotal role in offering preventive measures to the users.
Prevalence of Unhealthy Habits Triggers Market Growth
