Brain implants, also called as neural implants are directly attached to the brain and are used to restore the normal functioning of brain, wherein the functioning of brain has been altered due to the damages like head injuries or strokes. The brain implants can be attached either on the surface of the brain i.e., on gyri and sulci, or they can be attached to the cortex of the brain. The brain implants market has witnessed vertical growth in the past few decades and this trend is expected to continue during the forecast period. This growth would be driven by rising incidences of Parkinsons disease, obsessive compulsive disorder, increase in aging populations, high adoption rates in developed countries, and medical tourism. The low adoption rates in developing and underdeveloped regions are the key restraints.

Biosensors are integrated medical devices that provide analytical information by using the given biological samples in micro-volumes. The biosensors comprise of three major components, which include the biological recognition unit, bio elements, and transducers. The biological recognition unit interacts with the given biological samples, bio-elements, which constitutes enzymes, living tissues, antibodies, and transducers transform the signals generated from the interaction of bio-elements with biological recognition unit into an electrical signal. Biosensors are innovative/advanced-technology devices used in ultra-microanalysis, which offer high-quality output, accuracy, precision, specificity and sensitivity, within affordable prices. Thus, biosensors are considered as essential devices with the ability of quick detection and are ideal in offering low-cost, easy, quick, and portable solutions. Increasing prevalence of chronic and lifestyle-induced diseases, rising demand for POCT (point-of-care testing), growing geriatric population, and the biosensors application in nanotechnology are key drivers for the growth of this market.

The pacemaker is an artificial device implanted in the chest that generates low-energy electrical pulses to regulate the abnormal heart rhythm. Pacemakers are used in the medical conditions such as Arrhythmia, Atrial fibrillation, Heart block, and Long QT syndrome. The high prevalence of arrhythmia along with no precise therapy that regulate the cardiac rhythm have generated the need for pacemaker devices. Pacemakers are the preferred choice of treatment in cardiovascular diseases owing to the non-invasive nature of these devices. Some of the driving factors for pacemaker market are, technological advancements in pacemakers, rising incidences of cardiovascular disorders globally, and increasing R&D investments for pacemakers. However, the high cost of pacemakers is a key restraint in the global pacemaker market.

Intelligent Virtual Assistant Market Report, published by Allied Market Research, forecasts that the global market is expected to garner $3.6 billion by 2020, registering a CAGR of 35.2% during the period 2015 – 2020. North America dominates the global intelligent virtual assistant market owing to the increased adoption of IVA in countries such as the U.S. However, Asia-Pacific region is expected to exhibit a faster growth over the forecast period 2015 – 2020.

The 3D printing, which is also termed as additive manufacturing is a process of production of 3-Dimensional physical items from a digital file. Previously, in the field of paramedics device manufacturing, the stereolithography technology was largely used however, owing to its high cost, the use of this technology was later discontinued. The 3-Dimentional printing technology evolved from the prototyping in different applications into the development of operational products and parts. With the use of healthcare 3D printing, various physiological applications such as dental implants, hearing aids, contact lenses and prosthesis are customized for the patients. Additionally, the 3D printing technology possesses the advantage of low cost, environment friendly, tool-less and its sustainable nature as compared to the conventional stereo lithography techniques. Hence this technology is considered to be crucial in the field of paramedics. Personalized digital-data represents a blueprint for the future healthcare 3-Dimentional printing market solutions, from knee and hip implants to dental crowns and from hearing aids to orthotic footwear and prosthetic limbs.

Physiotherapy is the branch of health care which primarily deals with the remediation of disabilities and impairments through manual therapy, movement and exercise, advice and education. It promotes the mobility of disabled organs and improves the quality of life by using the therapy of mechanical force and movement. The Asia Pacific physiotherapy equipment market is growing at a promising CAGR due to increased awareness of these therapies to improve the quality of life, particularly, during post-operative conditions. The treatment of physiotherapy includes various equipment such as magnetotherapy equipment, electrotherapy equipment, ultrasound machines, laser therapy equipment and shockwave therapy. The growing number of geriatric population that suffer from functional disabilities, is the primary reason for the growth of the physiotherapy equipment market. Additional market drivers include rising healthcare awareness and high incidences of cardiovascular, respiratory and neurological conditions. However, high maintenance cost of the equipment along with the shortage of a skilled workforce hampers the market growth. The growth opportunities for the physiotherapy equipment market lie in emerging economies due to rising healthcare awareness and advancements in equipment technology such as robotic assisted systems, implanted devices, interactive video systems and exoskeletons.

Bio-imaging is a branch of science that deals with functional and structural images of living systems. Bio imaging involves the use of different techniques and processes that replicate the images of human anatomical areas and tissues at a molecular level. Medical bio-imaging technologies are used as diagnostic and examination tools for various diseases. Bio Imaging also helps in developing the database of general physiology and the anatomy of living objects for further research studies. Molecular bio-imaging technologies determine the arrangement of biological macromolecules in the body. Bio-imaging also incorporates radiology and the related imaging technologies such as ultrasound, X-ray radiography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) amongst others. Bio-imaging technologies, finds application in disease diagnosis. Advancements in medical and molecular imaging technologies are expected to drive the market in next few years. However, the high cost of bio-imaging instruments is a major restraint for the bio-imaging market.

Vitreous Tamponades are postoperative tools used in retinal detachment vitrectomy procedures. Retinal detachment is very serious medical complication and if not treated on time, can lead to permanent loss of vision. In the United States about 6% of population is estimated to suffer from retinal breaks, with annual incidences of 1 in 10,000. Vitrectomy is a surgical technique used in the correction of retinal detachment, which involves the removal of small amounts of vitreous gel from the human eye. At the end of vitrectomy, tamponades are injected into the eye to hold the retina in place and help in healing process. There is unmet market need for safe and technologically superior devices. The current viterectomy procedures are complicated and associated with adverse events such as cataract, glaucoma and recurrence of retinal detachment; making viterectomy a less invasive and a considerably successful procedure, would be a key challenge for market players. The key factors driving the vitreous tamponades market are; rising incidences of ophthalmic diseases, higher prevalence of diabetes and a global rise in the count of geriatric population, as old age and diabetes patients are at a higher risk of developing retinal diseases. However, the high cost of treatment, lack of expertise, a stringent regulatory requirement and an ambiguous reimbursement scenario are likely to restrict the market growth.
