Connected Wearable Patches Market Drivers
Rising Prevalence of Chronic Conditions
One of the key drivers of the Connected Wearable Patches Market is the growing prevalence of chronic conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease, and obesity, among others.
Since these conditions require constant supervision on the part of the healthcare professionals as well as the patient, connected wearable patches allow tracking all of the data, including the patients’ blood glucose, temperature, blood pressure, etc.
The said approach can be deemed a legitimate beneficiary for an increased number of people with chronic conditions since, by allowing to provide interventions in a timely manner, connected wearable patches can assist in designing personalized treatment.
As a result, the patients’ general well-being and health attributes can be improved in a timely manner, which will lead to a decrease in expenditure on healthcare.
Technological Advancements
Connected wearables patches are becoming more widely used all over the world. Both technical and economic capabilities fuel the growing interest in this type of electronic devices, and the advancement of sensor technology, wireless devices and network, and data analytics is leading to the ongoing increase in the use of this kind of devices.
On the one hand, the miniaturization of sensors and their increasing accuracy and reliability is leading to the possibility to manufacture smaller and convenient patches.
On the other hand, such technological factors as the growing use of wireless communications, which now mainly relies on such standards as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, make it possible to routinely transmit and monitor data using this kind of sensor.
Finally, the exponential growth in data analytics capabilities makes it possible to use such devices as data collectors, which report extremely large amounts of data.
Government Initiatives and Reimbursement Policies
Various government initiatives are playing a major role in the increasing preference for and utilization of connected wearable patches across the globe. Generally, the governments of different world nations have realized the importance of monitored health devices in enhancing the quality and cost of healthcare.
These developments have led to light policies supporting the use of connected wearable patches. By so doing, different governments have implemented policy changes that offer financial incentives to both the healthcare providers and the patients using the connected wearable patches.
At the same time, these devices have become more affordable to patients than ever as patients' costs for the device are being covered by private insurance companies.
The integration of connected wearable patches into healthcare systems appears to enhance patient monitoring and personalized treatment, potentially revolutionizing chronic disease management.
