Introduction to Smart Patient Monitoring Devices
Monitoring in the field of medicine is the observation of a certain disease, condition or one or several medical parameters, usually by using a device, such as the medical monitor. Various factors are monitored using patient monitoring devices. These devices usually are made up of a number of components, such as, sensor, translating component, display device, communication links and at times some other components too.
Past decades have witnessed a rapid evolution in the area of health monitoring systems. The integration of mobile technologies and smart devices with healthcare sector has provided endless opportunities to the experts and manufacturers resulting in development of m-health and e-health applications. IOT integrated patient monitoring technology have made it possible to monitor patient’s health outside the conventional clinical parameters resulting in increasing patient care and decreasing healthcare delivery cost.
Market Overview and Forecast
The North America smart patient monitoring device market accounted for USD 1981.8million in 2019 and is anticipated to reach USD 3729.6 million in 2027 by recording a CAGR of around 6% during the forecast period i.e. 2019-2027. The market of smart patient monitoring device is observing rapid growth owing to the growth in global health care industry coupled with increase in chronic diseases and ailments that require constant monitoring.
Rise in the number of cardio vascular diseases owing to the unhealthy lifestyle of people and constant need for vital sign monitoring, combined with the rise in the geriatric population in the region, all of these factors are anticipated to drive the demand of smart patient monitoring devices during the forecast period. Furthermore, constant developments in the area for instance wireless monitoring systems, compact equipment, possibility of detailed analysis and data storage for future reference is expected to boost the market over the forecast period.
Market Segmentation Synopsis
By Product Type
The North America smart patient monitoring device market is segmented on the basis of product type into vital sign monitors, infusion pumps, cardiac monitors, respiratory monitors, hematological monitors, anesthesia systems monitors, renal function monitors, telemetry, multi parameter monitors and others. The vital sign monitors segment is expected to witness a significant market growth attaining a share on the back of rise in geriatric population that requires constant monitoring followed by cardiac monitoring segment. The vital sign is used for measuring physical health for instance body temperature, pulse rate, respiratory system, blood pressure and others. The increase in chronic disease for instance hypertension and increased high blood pressure cases, which were recorded as around 90 million in America by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is raising the demand for constant monitoring and recording vital signs to avoid any risk factor, which is expected to increase the growth of the North American smart patient monitoring device market.

Market Drivers and Challenges
Growth Indicators
The North America smart patient monitoring device market is thriving on the back of rise in number of chronic disease cases. Inclination towards unhealthy lifestyle that includes unhealthy eating habits and work life have resulted in chronic diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, atherosclerosis and cancer. Additionally, rise in geriatric population in the region which is estimated to be around 16% of the total regional population and their need for regular monitoring and recording, is expected to drive the market growth. Additionally, rise in the number of diseases that require after surgery monitoring and real time recording coupled with rise in cardiovascular diseases, for instance, cardiac arrest, cardio myopathy and coronary artery disease among others, is anticipated to support the market growth throughout the forecast period. According to The World Bank, population count for ages 65 and above in North America grew from around 17 million in 1960 to 58 million in 2018.
Barriers
The costs associated with manufacturing of these devices coupled with challenges of data privacy and security breach of data of patients is anticipated to act as barriers in the growth of North America smart patient monitoring device market during the forecast period. Incidences, such as Ohio insurance fraud case and unsecured Internet of Things (IOT) devices resulted in “bot-net”, thereby enabling hackers to attack thousands of IP addresses, which might restrict the usage of these devices.
Top Featured Companies Dominating the Market
Some key market players leading the North America smart patient monitoring device market are Medtronic, Paragon Medical Supply, Inc., Honeywell HomMed, ACSDiagnostics, General Electric Company, Boston Scientific Corporation, Koninklijke Philips N.V., BioTelemetry Inc., F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd and Abbott.
