Global Patient Monitoring and Assistance Robots Market 2017-2021

Global outlook of the patient monitoring and assistance robots market

Technavio’s market research analysts predict the global patient monitoring and assistance robots market to grow steadily during the forecast period and post an impressive CAGR of more than 30% by 2021. This industry research report identifies the shortage of workforce in the healthcare sector to be one of the major factors that will have a positive impact on the growth of this market in the coming years. The shortage of nurses in hospitals and doctors with individual specialty has resulted in less availability of medical services, especially in the rural and remote regions across the globe. Analysts predict that due to the rise in number of aging professional caregivers, this shortage will continue in the coming years as well. To ensure the quality of services delivered to patients, healthcare facilities will start adopting technological improvements in robotics, consequently driving market growth in the coming years.

One of the major trends that will gain traction in the patient monitoring and assistance robots market is the increasing scope of telepresence robots. Telepresence robots enable the physician to avoid the barriers of distance and obtain the desired view of the patient. This will help physicians to precisely recommend the required treatment and surgical procedures to technicians. French medical institutions have already started adopting medical-center-based telemedicine networks that will connect their remote emergency rooms to major hospitals in Paris.
