Increasing Geriatric Population to Drive the Growth of this Wearable Medical Devices Market

Wearable medical devices are playing an increasingly important role in healthcare, and they have specific benefits for the geriatric population. These devices are designed to be worn on the body and collect health-related data, providing valuable insights into an individual's well-being. Some of the devices included in this market are smartwatches and patches/stick-ons. The use of these devices is increasing rapidly due to their popularity in tracking heart rate, blood pressure, and other vital signs. Due to their rising popularity, these devices are now being used by many older people and are becoming quite useful for them as it reduces their risk of infection due to traveling to a hospital or clinic for treatment or consultation and saves time and money.

According to the United Nations, the population of age 65 or above in the world is expected to increase from 703 million people in 2019 to 1.5 billion in 2050. Also, according to the American Hospital Association, the number of people in the U.S. with a chronic medical condition is projected to rise from 149 million in 2015 to 171 million in 2030. Wearable devices allow healthcare providers to remotely monitor the health of geriatric patients, even when they are at home or in assisted living facilities. These devices can track vital signs such as heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels, providing real-time data to healthcare professionals. Remote monitoring reduces the need for frequent hospital visits and enables early detection of potential health issues. Thus, the rise in the geriatric population would indirectly lead to the increase in the factors mentioned above, leading to the market's growth. Wearable devices can help older adults manage their medication schedules more effectively. They can send reminders to take medications at the right time and track adherence. Some devices can even dispense medication automatically or provide visual and auditory cues to assist with medication management.

The wearable medical devices market is segmented by Type (Activity Monitors, Smartwatches, Patches/Stick-Ons, and Other Types), Application [Diagnostic and Monitoring {Vital Signs Monitoring, Glucose Monitoring, Blood Pressure Monitoring, Sleep Monitoring, Respiratory Monitoring, Other Diagnostic and Monitoring Applications}, Therapeutics {Pain Management, Rehabilitation, Insulin Delivery, and Other Therapeutic Applications}], Distribution Channel (Hospitals & Pharmacies, E-commerce, and Retail Channels), Grade (Consumer and Medical Grade), and Geography. The study also evaluates industry competitors and analyzes the regional and country-level markets.

Based on type, in 2023, the smartwatches segment is expected to account for the largest share of the market. Factors such as a rising consumer base using smartwatches for health monitoring, an increasing number of product launches, and increased health awareness for chronic disease management and prevention drive the growth of this segment. Smartwatches equipped with optical heart rate sensors can continuously monitor the wearer's heart rate throughout the day. This feature is particularly valuable for older adults who may need to keep track of their heart health or detect irregularities in their heart rhythm. Some smartwatches can even alert users to abnormal heart rates or arrhythmias.

Based on application, the diagnostic and monitoring segment is expected to account for the largest share of the market. Diagnostic and monitoring devices monitor vitals and have data storage and transmission capabilities. Continuous glucose monitoring, blood pressure monitoring and heart rate monitoring are some of the vitals that can be monitored using these devices. Apart from this, the geriatric population is increasing rapidly worldwide, and in some cases, would need round-the-clock guidance for diagnosing, managing, and treating disorders like diabetes. This could be provided by diagnostic and monitoring devices paired with easier and more accurate patient health and data management, increasing patient population and self-awareness of patients leading to a large share of this segment in the market.
