European Neonatal and Foetal Monitoring Markets

press@researchandmarkets.com — Tue, 09 Jan 2007 11:16:00 GMT

Shifting Customer Demands Forces Innovation

Hospitals, the main end-users of neonatal and foetal monitoring equipment, are
placing greater importance on ultiparameter monitors with a wider function-
ality, such as measuring blood gasses using non-invasive techniques. This demand
is forcing manufacturers to adapt and include value-added services such as tech-
nical support and software. Market participants that cannot supply solutions for
new end-user demands will find themselves quickly surpassed by new
industry winners.

New strategic research from Frost &Sullivan analyses the current state of the
European neonatal and foetal monitoring markets. It divides the industry into
four segments —electronic foetal monitoring, neonatal ultiparameter monitor-
ing,neonatal stand-alone transcutaneous non-invasive blood gas monitoring and
neonatal stand-alone pulse oximetry —and identifies challenges facing market
participants in eight European areas. It explains the competitive environment and
provides strategies to successfully aster it.

Compatibility Ensures Future Success for Market Participants

Many hospitals are beginning to centralize data management and information systems, meaning monitor manufacturers need to offer equipment that is flexible

enough to address interoperability. Market participants assuring end-users that
new products can be easily integrated into systems can guarantee future market
share.

Hospitals are starting to make purchasing decisions with an eye towards the
future, states the author of this research. Manufacturers are now starting to
offer more products with open architecture and compatibility, which allows
interfacing with other monitors as well as connection to central systems. Those
market participants without these products face the challenge of acquiring the
knowledge needed to offer this technology.

Altered Marketing Strategies Achieve Financial Success

U.S. Multiparameter Patient Monitoring

press@researchandmarkets.com — Tue, 09 Jan 2007 11:15:58 GMT

With a long history of market penetration in U.S. hospitals, new growth opportunities are limited in the multiparameter patient monitoring

market despite significant technological developments

This Frost & Sullivan research service examines the U.S. market in-depth including a department-by-department analysis of U.S. hospitals
and growth opportunities therein. The study is divided into two market segments: U.S. hospitals and U.S. alternate care facilities. The study
also identifies key trends, market drivers and restraints, challenges, and strategic recommendations for targeting new growth opportunities.

Implementation of wireless data transfer and clinical information systems in hospitals creates new opportunities for flexible patient

monitoring solutions

Often heralded as a solution for many of the current strains on the U.S. healthcare system, clinical information systems are being
implemented in hospitals and new patient monitoring opportunities are rapidly emerging. Several manufacturers have already introduced
new devices that take advantage of these systems to create seamless continuous monitoring solutions that cover patients at bedside, during
transport, and even during surgery.

The market is also rapidly implementing patient monitoring software applications that allow medical professionals to utilize an
unprecedented array of patient data on the screen of a patient monitor.

Emergency departments and sub-acute hospital units represent a significant growth opportunity in the U.S. in terms of new unit shipments

The growing size of the acute patient population in hospitals is straining the existing infrastructure in terms of staffing and monitoring
equipment. In order to enhance patient safety and maintain liability protection, hospitals are increasingly turning to low-acuity patient
monitors to provide constant monitoring of patient status.

Country Industry Forecast - The Chinese Healthcare Industry

press@researchandmarkets.com — Tue, 09 Jan 2007 11:15:48 GMT

Gradual transition into a free market economy, accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) and liberal trade policies in China are fuelling rapid expansion of international trade in China. Being the second largest recipient of foreign direct investment (FDI) and sixth largest foreign trade country, China is poised to grow in the area of healthcare industry. While, over-the-counter (OTC) drugs capture a significant share of the healthcare market, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is an emerging area. Local production and joint ventures coupled with imports meet the domestic demand for pharmaceutical and drugs.
China’s medical device market relies largely on imports with the United States being the major supplier. The reduction of the tariff rate on medical devices to 3.9 percent has rendered imports low-cost and convenient. Moreover, the speed of drug approvals and low cost of clinical trials in China prompt western countries to outsource their clinical trials here. Hence, China has become an attractive destination for outsourcing of drug development by global biotechnology industries. Intellectual property (IP) protection is a strong incentive for investment in research and development. The government’s initiatives to develop standards and encourage best practices across the healthcare industry are bound to enhance China’s global competitiveness.
The country’s economy is also expanding to meet the long-term goal of promoting development, raise standards of living, and narrowing the gap with developed countries. The tenth five-year plan, for instance, has played a major role in removing the barriers to external trade by proposing radical measures to reduce government intervention and increase access to the Chinese market. State-owned enterprises with their strong legacy and local advantage are likely to compete with multinational companies.
The Country Industry Forecast Service for the Chinese healthcare industry uses a macroeconomic p

Surgical Management Systems Markets in Europe

press@researchandmarkets.com — Thu, 16 Nov 2006 14:42:51 GMT

Developing Interoperable and Easily Integrable Solutions a Key Challenge
The surge of global participants entering the European healthcare industry is pressurising surgical management systems vendors to develop interoperable as well as easily integrable solutions. This is a huge challenge in an industry dominated by legacy systems vendors and hospitals that have already integrated various management and individual clinical solutions with existing healthcare information systems (HIS). Interoperability between systems at an enterprise level is critical for various departments to share information seamlessly so that everyone concerned can access and make use of vital surgery-related details. Thus, solutions that integrate preoperative, operative and postoperative information as well as provide easy and timely access are most likely to meet with success.
This Frost & Sullivan research service provides a comprehensive overview of and an outlook for the European surgical management systems markets, covering market drivers and restraints, industry challenges and strategic recommendations as well as product and geographical trends. This can help participants capitalise on the major growth opportunities available in the markets.

Need for Better Inventory Management and Efficiency Drives Market

The challenge of providing superior healthcare under strict budgets is compelling healthcare providers to adopt IT solutions to achieve greater efficiency. Across Europe, hospitals are increasingly focusing on achieving various key goals such as enhancing physician satisfaction and patient safety, reducing operating expenses as well as increasing the number of cases to boost profitability. These factors are expected to drive the growth of the surgical management systems markets, remarks the analyst of this research service. The initiatives taken by healthcare authorities are set to become the principal drivers for information systems implementation in the operating room (OR).
