New Generation of Mobile Cardiac Telemetry Monitors Benefiting from Patient-Centered Design Focus

Applied Data Research Analyzes the Potential of Next-Generation Devices in the Evolving Cardiac Care Market

[USPRwire, Wed Sep 22 2010] As populations age, the burden of monitoring the impaired cardiac capabilities of a growing legion of patients at-risk of experiencing a cardiac event is increasingly falling to ambulatory cardiac monitors. The result has been an increase in the number of small, private companies seeking to enter the market. By combining new design initiatives, these companies are creating the next generation of mobile cardiac monitors. But as the shutdown of Transoma’s human monitoring operation demonstrates, it is a highly competitive and uncertain environment that market participants are attempting to navigate.

The current thinking in mobile cardiac monitoring incorporates a design philosophy where patient comfort and independent operation are the focus. To this end, the new generation of ambulatory cardiac monitors is benefiting from the convergence of light-weight materials, short-range device-to-device communications technology and ubiquitous, high QoS wide area networks. These new systems stress user-friendly features that include disposable sensing units, leadless data collection, and wearable gateway wireless devices for downloading cardiac event data and uploading it to an IDTF for processing and analysis.

A detailed analysis of the new generation of mobile cardiac telemetry monitors is presented in a new and comprehensive report from Applied Data Research. The report provides analysis, assessments, profiles and forecasts that provide a comprehensive view of the evolving market segment.
