With the help of modern technology and increased focus on providing better care, the healthcare industry continues to evolve each year. That being said, the demand for advanced and efficient medical devices is on the rise. So, here are the top 3 medical device trends of 2023 that medical device companies should look out for.
1. Minimally Invasive Procedures: These types of procedures refer to operations with less damage to the body than those with open surgery, which means less pain, a shorter hospital stay and fewer complications. The trend toward minimally invasive procedures has been gaining momentum in recent years and is expected to continue in the future. This trend is driving the development of innovative medical devices that offer less invasive, more effective treatments.
2. Personalized Medicine: Personalized medicine is an approach to health care that takes into account a person’s individual characteristics to tailor treatment to their specific needs. By analyzing a patient’s unique profile, healthcare professionals can determine which treatments are most likely to be effective, minimizing the risks of side effects and reducing the likelihood of treatment failure. Because of the growth in personalized medicine, there is a demand for medical device companies to develop more devices that cater to individual patients’ needs, based on their genetic makeup and other factors.
3. Wearable Medical Devices: Wearable medical devices are electronic devices or that can be worn by a patient to track health data in real-time. These devices are designed to monitor heart rate, blood pressure, glucose levels, and physical activity. Wearable medical devices can come in various forms, including smartwatches, wristbands, patches, and clothing, and these devices are expected to become more widespread in the future.
There’s a lot that goes on in the medical device industry, but these are the main 3 trends to look out for in 2023. If you have more questions about the medical incubation process and want to learn more, book a time to meet with our COO Jason Scherer.
