Description

This edition of the Medical Device TOE profiles innovations that have an impact on elderly care. Predominantly, products that leverage information and communication technologies, these innovations enable remote patient monitoring, ensure medication compliance, help manage diabetes, dispense pills on time, and perform several other functions to make ageing-in-place a possibility. These connected health solutions are particularly important in the context of an ageing population in most countries.

The Medical Device TechVision Opportunity Engine (TOE) analyzes and reports on new and emerging technologies and advances in R&D; product development; and regulatory matters related to neurology, ophthalmology, respiratory/anesthesia, wound care and management, surgical tools and instrumentation, drug delivery, orthopedics, endoscopy, cardiology, and monitoring.

Medical devices and imaging technology and innovation research covers cutting-edge global developments in medical devices and imaging sectors such as biosensors, biomaterials, biomechanics, microtechnologies, nanotechnologies, assistive technologies, and imaging technologies and platforms.

Keywords: mHealth, remote patient monitoring, medication compliance, patient engagement, connected health, continuous patient monitoring
