San Jose, California (PRWEB) December 10, 2013 -- Follow us on LinkedIn – GIA invites senior industry executives, domain experts, technologists and market strategists to participate in a comprehensive global research initiative studying the “Wireless Health & Fitness Devices” markets. The study will examine key drivers and trends impacting the market such as, aging world population and the ensuing need for home monitoring for the elderly; escalating healthcare costs, focus on enhancing quality of healthcare services, and the resulting need to shift patient care outside the traditional primary care settings; technology developments in M2M monitoring and tracking technologies; growing popularity of assisted living, telemedicine, and remote collaboration between patients and physicians; rising awareness over health & well-being, increased adoption of fitness regimes, and strong demand potential for fitness activity trackers such as wearable accessories that track level of physical activity, metabolic rates, muscle mass, calories burnt etc; growing focus on condition management against a backdrop of rising incidence of chronic diseases like obesity, hypertension, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, and the need for continuous monitoring of biological parameters.
Defined as devices integrated with wireless sensors capable of monitoring a patient’s physiological parameters like heart rate, blood pressure, respiration rates, and blood glucose levels, and transmitting the same to a nurse station, Wireless Health & Fitness Devices are poised to witness strong growth in the coming years. The emerging era of mHealth and wireless healthcare is generating attractive market opportunities for wireless health & fitness devices. Developing countries are expected to witness strong growth given the rise in mobile phone penetration, implementation of government supported public health education programs, and strong development of smartphone healthcare apps that turn already multi-functional smartphones into medical devices. The pressing need to provide access to quality healthcare services to hard-to-reach population in developing countries is also expected to drive demand in the market. The market stands poised to benefit from innovative development of app-enabled wireless accessories for smartphones based on Bluetooth and Wi-Fi technologies.
Wireless medical telemetry devices are especially poised to witness strong demand encouraged by technology developments and improvements in hospital wireless-networks. Growing focus on fitness regimes as key to maintaining healthily lifestyles is expected to drive demand for fitness sensors among recreational exercisers, as increasing emphasis is laid on diet, exercise, sleep, strength and performance. The trend towards chronic disease monitoring, patient alarm monitoring, personal wellness monitoring and personal fitness monitoring coupled with improvements in wireless sensor networks (WSN) will drive future growth in the market. The study estimates Wireless Health & Fitness Devices to be a multi-million dollar market worldwide, while more precise market-size and growth projections will be made available during the 2nd stage of report preparation, and data analysis.
The research and analyses will be released shortly in the form of a comprehensive research report.
