Medical Alert Systems Market: Adoption of Innovative Offerings To Boost Returns On Investment

Medical Alert Systems Market

Medical alert systems (MAS), also known as Personal Emergency Response System (PERS), are alarm systems designed to alert linked healthcare facilities in case of any medical hazard or injury requiring immediate medical attention. Medical alert systems are usually marketed with a wireless transmitter designed as a pendant, which can be activated in a medical emergency. Disabled and elderly people who do not live with their family members are the major users of these systems. Currently, the medical alert systems market is highly attractive due to rapidly aging population and increasing awareness among the populace.

High demand for monitored systems

The global medical alert systems market comprises of devices with different functions and features decides the end price of the product. The market has been segmented on the basis of device type, technology, and end users as follows:

Type of medical alert systems:
Mobile
Landline
Standalone/Wall-Mounted Devices
Medical alert system technologies:
Two-way voice systems
Unmonitored medical alert systems
Medical Alert Alarm (Button) System

The only advantage of non-monitored MAS is that it does not require a monthly fee to be paid to the monitoring company as in the case of two-way voice system and Medical Alert Alarm (Button) System. The monitored MAS on the other hand, helps save time in contacting or alerting the health service provider, does not require updating non-monitored voice dialer, and helps provide emergency help in less time than non-monitored systems.

End users of medical alert systems:
Senior care centers
Nursing homes
Old age homes
Hospitals
Individual patients

Increasing consumer awareness about the technology and its various benefits is creating a highly conducive environment for growth of the market.

Few devices in the medical alert systems market: Life Alert, LifeStation, Medical Alert, Philips Lifeline, MobileHelp, Bay Alarm Medical, Alert1, Medical Guardian’s MAS and Rescue Alert.

Developed Economies still to achieve maturity for the medical alert systems market

Developed economies such as the U.S., Canada, U.K., Germany, and Japan are characterized by high adoption rate of emergency alert systems from the large geriatric population. Moreover, due to high incidence rates of injuries due to fall from beds and upper bunks, the market for medical alert systems is expected to grow further in developed regions. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), one in three senior citizens aged 65 and above, fall down from bed and upper bunks each year, in the U.S., and 20% to 30% of them suffer from serious injuries due to the fall. However, with certain issues in the current medical alert systems, there is an immense scope for technological development in the device. For instance, Lifestation, Inc. is facing a lawsuit filed by a customer claiming to receive unsolicited calls on his cellphone from the Lifestation MSA device. Moreover, limited reimbursement for this device is hindering demand in the U.S. and Canada.

Devices with comprehensive range of features are a threat to standalone MAS devices

There are new devices being launched with additional features. Philips launched a new MAS device, GoSafe which has an auto-alert fall-detection and GPS tracking. Even wearables by Fitbit come with medical alert systems, in addition to their usual health tracking features. Stealth Technologies, Inc. also launched a device—911 Help Now—with no recurring monthly charge. These devices are a major threat for standalone MAS devices.

The medical alert systems market is projected to witness admirable growth due to increasing preference for emergency alert consoles, rapidly aging population, and increasing demand for medical alert systems in nursing homes and old age care facilities. However, product availability and pricing would be decisive factors shaping market growth.

Medical alert systems market is fragmented

The global medical alert systems market is highly fragmented, owing to participation of many established and emerging players in the market. Major players involved in the MAS market include AlertOne Services, LLC. Bay Alarm Medical, CarelineUK Monitoring Limited, Galaxy Medical Alert Systems, Ltd., Life Alert Emergency Response, Inc., LifeStation, Inc., and Koninklijke Philips N.V.

Cold pain therapy is a therapeutic application of cold, used in the treatment of acute soft tissue injuries and to reduce the pain in post-operative condition in orthopedic surgeries, treatment of benign and malignant lesions, and in pain management. Cryotherapy can be applied topically (on the skin surface), surgically or percutaneously. This can also be used to treat various skin conditions such as oral mucositis and tumors in the liver, kidney, bones, breasts and lungs, skin tumors, skin tags, pre-cancerous skin moles, and injuries. Cryosurgery procedure involves use of extreme cold, produced with help of liquid nitrogen (or argon gas) to destroy abnormal tissues. According to the National Cancer Institute (NCI), cryosurgery is used for treatment of several types of cancers and some non-cancerous conditions. It is reported to be effective for treatment in early stage skin cancer, retinoblastoma, actinic keratosis, and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. Accord...

Ursodeoxycholic Acid Market Shows Boosted Growth Rate 2018-2026 Estimated by Global Top Players

Image
Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) is a bile acid taken as either a tablet or liquid to treat gallstones and to treat and prevent the progression of cystic fibrosis-related liver disorder. UDCA modifies the bile acid pool by decreasing levels of hydrophobic bile acids while increasing proportion of nontoxic hydrophilic bile acids. UDCA can delay development of gastroesophageal varices and progression to cirrhosis. Moreover it can improve long-term survival in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis. Significant improvement in liver health can be achieved during UDCA therapy in patients with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy, primary sclerosing cholangitis, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, cystic fibrosis-associated liver disease, total parenteral nutrition-induced cholestasis, graft related liver disease, and in some pediatric cholestatic liver diseases. The global ursodeoxycholic acid market size was valued at US$ 346.2 million in 2017, and is expected to witn...

Subtypes of anatomic pathology include surgical pathology, oral and maxillofacial pathology, cytopathology, molecular pathology, and forensic pathology. Procedures performed in anatomic pathology include gross examination, histopathology, immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, cryopathology, tissue cytogenetics, and others. Standard approach in anatomical pathology is microscopic examination of tissue samples with the help of one or more stains. Manufacturers have developed stains to identify and classify microorganisms in biopsy of tissue samples or excisional specimens. Various gram stains and acid-fast stains have applications in detection of bacteria and mycobacteria in tissue samples. Commercially available products include tissue processing systems, microtomes, cryostats, ...
