The growing prevalence of chronic diseases is expected to drive the expansion of the personal emergency response systems (PERS) market in the coming years. Chronic diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease, and arthritis, are long-lasting health conditions that require ongoing care. The rise in these diseases is largely due to poor lifestyle choices and an aging population. Factors such as unhealthy eating habits, lack of exercise, smoking, and excessive alcohol consumption significantly contribute to the development of conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases. These behaviors increase the risk of obesity, insulin resistance, and inflammation, which are key factors in the onset of chronic conditions. As chronic diseases become more prevalent, the demand for PERS rises, as these systems provide continuous monitoring and quick access to medical help. PERS are essential for users, enabling them to contact emergency services or caregivers during health emergencies, ensuring safety and peace of mind. For example, in June 2024, the National Health Service in the UK reported that in 2023, half a million more individuals in England were at risk of developing type 2 diabetes, raising the total number of people with pre-diabetes to 3,615,330. This marked an increase of nearly 20% compared to 2022, highlighting the growing prevalence of chronic diseases and thus the demand for PERS.
