Over the forecast period, the total market will continue grow steadily alongside the interest in investing in patient-worn monitors across unmonitored lower-acuity hospital settings. Acute care areas where telemetry is seeing increased adoption include the recovery and general care floors, where continuous monitoring helps to reduce avoidable complications, as well as critical care settings, such as the cardiac care unit (CCU). On the other hand, new efforts to combat excess strain on hospital resources and alarm fatigue are expected to temper future growth. The market value is thus projected to increase steadily, albeit at a diminishing rate, over the forecast period. The telemetry monitoring device market includes wireless patient-worn monitors and the associated wireless central stations.
Telemetry monitors have traditionally been used for monitoring one or two parameters. However, ongoing advancements have enabled these devices to monitor, on average, three or four parameters. The patient-worn monitors allow for continuous monitoring of ambulatory patients within the area of coverage. Signals from the patient-worn device are transmitted to a central station, where nurses can monitor patient vital signs. Wireless ambulatory telemetry is most commonly found in cardiac care areas, including stroke units, coronary care units and step-down units, where the ability forpatients to be mobile is especially important.
