INTRODUCTION 

PATIENT MONITORING DEVICES 
 
Patient monitoring products measure, display, and document physiological information obtained at regular intervals over time from sensors attached to the patient or other input devices. The qualifier “at regular intervals over time” is used to distinguish patient monitoring devices from diagnostic kits and devices, which are typically used once or a few times to diagnose a patient’s condition and/or plan a course of therapy.
 
Measured parameters include electrocardiogram (ECG), invasive and noninvasive blood pressure, pulse rate, pulse oximetry, body temperature, respiration rate, end-tidal CO2, and other specialized parameters. Products vary from specialized single-parameter instruments to monitors with the ability to measure multiple parameters and interface with other instruments.
 
 STUDY BACKGROUND
 
BCC published its last study of the patient monitoring market in 2006. At the time, there was little consensus among analysts regarding the size of this market. Since then, the market has continued to evolve, due to factors such as aging population, increased incidence of heart disease and other conditions requiring close patient monitoring, and technological developments such as wireless remote monitoring.
 
Thus, it would seem that the time has come for a new review of the market’s overall size and direction. Such a study should enable manufacturers as well as distributors to identify the market segments with the highest growth potential, and understand competitive conditions as a guide to allocating financial and human resources.
 
 STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
 
This report is intended to meet the need for an up-to-date look at the U.S. patient monitoring market. It analyzes U.S. markets for these products in the light of the most recent available information. In addition to looking at current and future markets for patient monitoring devices, the report analyzes technological, economic, and regulatory developments that are likely to have a long-term impact on the size and structure of the market.
 
This report provides an analysis of the market for patient monitoring devices and related equipment by application (e.g., intensive care, neonatal/pediatric care), product type (central monitoring stations, portable bedside monitors, wireless/telemetry monitors) and target markets, such as hospitals, long-term care facilities, and individual consumers. Future market trends are analyzed, with consumption forecasts for specific market segments.
 
More specific objectives are to
  • Identify and segment the main types of patient monitoring devices that have been commercialized to date;
  • Analyze the historical and current value of shipments of each of these product segments in specified applications and end-user markets;
  • Identify and evaluate the impact of demographic, technological, regulatory and other factors that will drive future demand in each of these segments;
  • Forecast the value of future shipments in each segment;
  • Identify promising new technologies and products still in the development and testing stage that are likely to be commercialized successfully in the next 5 years;
  • Identify leading vendors of patient monitoring devices and related equipment and analyze industry structure (e.g., market shares, concentration, recent M&A activity); and
  • Assess the long-term outlook for patient monitoring devices, taking into account market opportunities as well as technological, financial, and economic factors.
INTENDED AUDIENCE
 
The report has been written for the entire medical and healthcare community, but is tailored especially for readers with an interest in the marketing and management dimensions of patient monitoring devices, such as:
  • Manufacturers and distributors of patient monitoring devices
