Market Analysis: Telemetry System

by John Wallace

Healthcare is forever evolving as new discoveries generate new techniques. Technology is a factor that impacts the delivery of healthcare on a regular basis.

One example of how advances in technology can shape the delivery of healthcare is medical telemetry equipment. It began when transmitters were introduced that could send multiple ECG leads simultaneous. Then, pulse oximetry was added to the medical transmitters. Next, came the introduction of a design that allows transmitters to be tuned to the many different European frequencies.

Technology did not stop there.

The introduction of multi-band telemetry, incorporating pulse oximeters and other parameters into the patient transmitters themselves soon followed.

These high-tech steps expanded the size of the global market for telemetry. These advances also increased the types of patients who could be monitored via telemetry from those with cardiac issues to patients recovering from any of a wide range of surgical procedures. The new technology also meant that telemetry systems could be used for patients who required respiratory monitoring.
