Improved connectivity due to wireless networking and high-speed internet solution has created colossal possibilities in patient monitoring and overall treatment. Hospital centralised monitoring mainly include clinical support and telemetry tools which are interactive, secure and instrumental in improving patient care and healthcare staff efficiency. Platform neutral monitoring can seamlessly connect to computers, medical-surgical floors, mobile devices, alert and notification platforms within hospital network systems. Such monitoring is capable of providing real-time vital statistics of patients in the hospital like intensive care patients, maternity patients, and aids in saving multiple lives. Centralised monitoring also significantly avoids the cost, reduces caretaker shift hours, minimize unnecessary/false alarms by providing centralised patient surveillance.
Increased patient hospitalizations, availability of reliable remote patient monitoring devices, lack of skilled healthcare staff, increased pressure on existing healthcare infrastructure is augmenting the growth of global market. Also increase in accident and casualty cases, ageing population and susceptibility to chronic diseases are providing an uplift to the hospital centralised monitoring market. Governments inclination towards digitization and focus on controlling healthcare cost by providing affordable patient care is largely fuelling the market growth.
Automation and decreased vendor dependency for monitoring equipment post sales are key market differentiators that would prevail for years to come. Licensing requirements, patient protection acts, Wi-Fi and network coverage issues, nursing workflow implementation challenges, lack of uniformity in device functions are few of the restraints to the market.
Presently North America holds dominating market share due to high penetration, favourable demographic trend and adoption of technological advancements in the market. Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and the rest of the world are to grow at a significant CAGR for the next few years.
