ReleaseWire Connect

Wearable technology has gained momentum in the past few years. Changing lifestyle of young people demands connectivity. The health care segment accounts for a major share of the wearable technology market, considering the innovations in several applications in this area in the last two decades. While a smartphone remains the choice of the global population, the tech world is constructing a future of wearable devices that promises consumers to help them live healthier lives, Mobile phones having wearable sensors embedded in it, and implanted medical devices can help monitor and manage the health. Technology companies interested in health and wellness have introduced various products in the wearable medical devices market including bands, wristwatches, chest and straps that are user-friendly, compact, and noninvasive. In 2013, Google Inc. introduced Google Glass, an eyewear that is highly dynamic. It can be used in various applications across industries. Technology has proven to be a boon for the medical community.

The rise in the number of insect-borne diseases is driving the growth of the insect repellent market in Europe. In order to protect themselves from diseases caused by mosquitoes or ticks, consumers prefer different insect repellent products such as apparels, oils and creams, and stickers and patches among others. According to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, the changing climatic conditions would increase the habitation of tiger mosquitoes in the Northern part of Europe on account of warmer and wetter weather conditions. All these factors are likely to increase health awareness among European consumers, which in turn is expected to drive the usage of insect repellent products in Italy, France, Spain and other European countries during the forecast period.

The chemical compounds, produced from organic and inorganic acids in which –OH group is replaced by alkyl group are said to be esters. Fatty acid esters are also known as oleochemical substances which are natural substitutes to petroleum products. These esters originate from carboxylic acid and alcohol and are formed by combination of alcohols and fatty acids. These fatty acids undergo esterfication process to form fatty acid esters. The key raw materials from which fatty acids esters are produced include vegetable oils such as palm oil, sunflower oil and rapeseed oil among others.

Polycarbonate, a thermoplastic polymer, is used widely in various applications as it offers properties such as high impact resistance, transparency, flame retardancy and high structural rigidity. Polycarbonate can be processed using extrusion and injection molding techniques to develop products with different properties and shapes. Additives can be added to the polymer while processing in order to enhance its processing efficiency and physical properties.

Calibration is defined as an operation that, under specified conditions, performs two steps. In the first step, it establishes a relation between the quantity values with measurement uncertainties provided by measurement standards and corresponding indications with associated measurement uncertainties (of the calibrated instrument or secondary standard). In the second step, it uses this information to establish a relation for obtaining a measurement result from an indication.

The surgical navigation systems market is propelled by the rising demand for orthopedic, trauma, neurological, and ENT surgeries across the globe. A growing geriatric population results in rising number of orthopedic surgeries such as shoulder, hip, and knee replacement. This has fueled the demand for surgical navigation systems. An alarming rise in road accidents has translated into increase in trauma surgeries, once again, resulting in the demand for advanced surgical navigation systems.

A cleanroom is a specially designed and controlled environment, wherein air supply, air distribution, material for construction/manufacturing, and other procedures are regulated to control presence of airborne particles affecting the overall product/process quality. Cleanrooms are primarily used in several manufacturing and R&D applications pertaining to industrial, electronics & semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, life sciences, and aerospace, among others where low level of contamination is essential.

Environmental health & safety tools are primarily used by companies to adhere with the environmental regulations and norms concerned with occupational and environmental health & safety. Over the past four decades, a large number of EHS regulations has been implemented across major industrialized economies such as North America and Europe. After the global financial crisis in 2008, implementation of robust and costly EHS monitoring tools has been affected greatly. Yet there has been a significant imposition of regulations that has collectively increased the spending on improved information management systems. The global EHS market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 12.0% from 2016 to 2024, reaching US$ 8,315.1.0 Mn by 2024.
