The Digital Wound Measurement Devices Market has witnessed substantial growth in recent years, reflecting a paradigm shift in healthcare practices. As technology continues to advance, the demand for digital solutions in wound management has surged thereby driving market trends for digital wound measurement devices. These instruments have revolutionized how wounds are assessed by improving accuracy rate as well as fastening healing process through informing doctors’ decisions.
One key trend shaping the market is the increasing prevalence of chronic wounds, such as diabetic ulcers and pressure ulcers. As diabetes rates rise alongside aging population globally there is a consequent surge in the number of chronic wounds which calls for advanced tools to measure and track them. Wound dimensions can be systematically captured using digital wound measurement devices hence providing better understanding and management of such conditions.
Moreover, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies into digital wound measurement devices is another notable trend. These enable devices to function better through enhancements brought about by predictive analytics as well as automated wound assessment. By examining images of wounds, AI algorithms are able to determine how fast they are healing and more importantly predict problems that may arise from them thus helping health providers decide promptly.
The market is also witnessing a surge in the adoption of mobile health (mHealth) solutions for wound management. In other words, these electronic gadgets can facilitate remote monitoring and real-time communication between doctors and patients when their smartphones or tablets are compatible with digital wound measurement devices. This serves two purposes; first it leads to higher commitment on patient’s side and shortens care process in general which results into enhanced healthcare delivery due to reduction in costs.
Furthermore, the emphasis on value-based healthcare and cost containment has driven healthcare systems to seek innovative solutions that improve outcomes while reducing overall healthcare expenditures. Thus, they provide a less expensive mode as compared with analogue ways which takes longer time before accurate results are communicated back. Recording precise measurements within shortest possible time saves time wastage in hospitals thus allowing for efficient use of resources.
Additionally, this interoperability improves data accessibility and provides a complete picture of patients’ health histories to ensure a cohesive approach to medical care.
Segmentation
The digital wound measurement devices market is segmented on the basis of wound type, product, and end-user. The market, by wound type is sub-segmented into a diabetic ulcer, chronic wounds, burns, incisional, and traumatic. The product segment is sub-segmented into contact wound measuring devices and non-contact wound measuring devices.
On the basis of end-user, the market is segmented into hospitals, clinics, and ambulatory surgical centers.
On the basis of region, the market is segmented into the Americas, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East and Africa.
The Americas is sub-segmented into North America and South America. The North American region is further segmented into the US and Canada. The European region is divided into two, namely, Western Europe and Eastern Europe. Western Europe is further classified into Germany, Italy, France, the UK, Spain, and the rest of Western Europe. The Asia-Pacific region is sub-segmented into Japan, China, India, Australia, the Republic of Korea, and the rest of Asia-Pacific. The Middle Eastern and African region is sub-segmented into the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar, and the rest of the Middle East and Africa.
Key players
Some of the key players for the digital wound measurement devices market are WoundRight Technologies Tissue Analytics, Parable Health, ARANZ Medical Limited, eKare, Inc, KCI, an Acelity Company, WoundMatrix, Inc., WoundZoom Inc., Kent Imaging Inc., WoundRight Technologies, LLC, WoundVision, LLC, Hitachi Healthcare Americas, and Smith & Nephew plc.
Regional Market Summary
The digital wound measurement devices market is dominated by North America owing to the rising prevalence of chronic wounds and technological advancements in the healthcare sector. In June 2018, KCI, an Acelity Company announced the launch of Nurse2Nurse (N2N) Mobile App for wound care nurses. The app allows interactions with clinicians and shares credible insights and information for better patient care.
It is estimated that Europe was the second largest in the global market. The increasing technological advancement and research for wound care along with government support in Europe drive the market growth in this region. The European Wound Management Association will conduct its 29th conference by June 2019 in Gothenburg, Sweden in the presence of several international wound management communities with the common goal of improving the care of wound patients.
Asia-Pacific was projected to be the fastest growing region for the digital wound measurement devices market. Key factors such as rising geriatric population, growing diabetic patient pool, high incidence chronic wounds, and developing healthcare infrastructure drive the market in this region. According to the Asian Diabetes Prevention Initiative, 60% of the world diabetic population is in Asia. This provides favorable backgrounds for the market to grow in Asia.
The Middle East and Africa holds the least share of the global market due to the presence of stringent government policies and poor economic growth. However, growing awareness and increasing investments by private market players in this region can boost the market growth.Â
