Rise in Need for Remote Patient Monitoring Fuels the Asia Pacific Vital Signs Monitoring Devices Market
The demand for vital signs monitoring devices surged exponentially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, there was a sudden increase in Medicare Advantage claims during the COVID-19 pandemic. Remote patient monitoring has replaced conventional methods of monitoring patients' vital signs. The popularity of digital health has led to a rise in home care services, creating tremendous demand for devices such as pulse oximeters, BP monitors, and thermometers in homecare settings. Home healthcare has led to enhanced efficiency and cost-effectiveness in healthcare systems worldwide in the last few years. Similarly, the demand for remote patient monitoring increases with the growing preference for home care settings for the geriatric population and for people with critical conditions who require monitoring post-hospital care.Advancements such as wireless technologies and wearable devices have improved interoperability among healthcare professionals and scalability among patients. These devices have made it easy to monitor heart conditions, weight gain/loss, blood pressure, sleep apnea, asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. In addition, the requirement for remote vital signs monitoring devices grew during the COVID-19 crisis owing to a shift in consumer preference toward telehealth. The use of telehealth resulted in a significant decrease in the frequency of hospital visits and optimized the use of healthcare resources, making healthcare more sustainable. Additionally, people in rural and urban areas are becoming highly aware of telehealth services due to the influence of social media and favorable initiatives by healthcare facilities.
