Frost & Sullivan reveals predictions for patient monitoring device market

Business consultancy Frost & Sullivan has made a series of predictions for the future of the patient monitoring device market, following its recently published analysis of investments and trends in the industry. The firm have suggested that artificial intelligence, brain-computer interface (BCI), wearables, smart prosthetics/implants, nano-robotics and smart fabrics are the top six trends in the industry. These predictions have been inspired by Frost & Sullivan's recent analysis, Patient Monitoring Industry--Analysis of Investment and Trends, 2018. As patient monitoring technology has improved, the ad hoc interval observations undertaken by nurses and other medical staff have in many cases been replaced by continuous monitoring devices that can track multiple biometrics. The six technologies outlined by Frost & Sullivan are all focused on providing real-time, measurable monitoring.
