by The global Wearable Patch Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 718.8 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 23. % over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
Wearable patch is a small, removable and lightweight patch that is worn on the skin to continuously or intermittently monitor vital signs such as blood pressure, heart rate, blood glucose levels and body temperature. Wearable patches offer better compliance to treatment regimens as compared to daily routine procedures as they reduce the frequency of hospital visits. The data collected from wearable patches helps doctors to remotely monitor patient’s condition between appointments and make timely adjustments to treatment if needed.
Market key trends:
One of the major trends in the wearable patch market is the growing adoption of remote patient monitoring. Remote patient monitoring enables continuous monitoring of patients outside of healthcare facilities using digital technologies. It helps in early detection of health issues and preventive care. This reduces healthcare costs and burden on medical resources. The COVID-19 pandemic has further accelerated the demand for remote patient monitoring as it prevents unnecessary hospital visits and exposure. Manufacturers are hence focusing on developing advanced patches integrated with mobile apps and cloud connectivity to facilitate remote monitoring of patients.
