Abstract
SYNOPSIS
This report highlights the breakthroughs in sensor technology targeted for
health applications and analyzes its implementation in multiple hardware
platforms and service segments. Specifically, the report covers physiological
sensors for vital sign monitoring, motion and utility sensors for geriatric
care monitoring, and body sensor networks that offer continuous monitoring and
tracking of health status of the patients. Finally the report profiles the key
players in this segment.
“Smart sensor technology will play an increasingly bigger role in
preventive care and home health monitoring services,” said Harry
Wang, Senior Analyst with Parks Associates. “While technology
vendors are closely examining market opportunities in various care delivery
segments, they are also keenly working on improve the performance and
reliability of the technology itself.”
