Increasing aging population as well as increasing prevalence of central nervous system (CNS) disorders are leading to various risks and emergency situations. Some of the main causes of risk situations among the elderly population are rising incidence of Alzheimer's and strokes. According to an estimate by the World Health Organization, 12.5% of people aged 65 years and older and 45% of people aged 85 years and older suffer from Alzheimer's disease. Also, nearly twice as many women as men suffer from the disease. Personal emergency response system (PERS) products such as landline devices, mobile devices, standalone devices and mobile applications are used to alert emergency services in the event of any emergency. Such devices have the potential to mitigate some adverse consequences. These systems can be used at home or in assisted living facilities and hospitals to save the aging and physically challenged individuals from life-threatening situations.

Natural and organic products are produced without addition of any synthetic material or chemicals. Increased health awareness amongst the global population has become a primary factor driving demand for natural as well as organic products in the personal care products market. Rising demand for chemical-free personal care products, along with increasing disposable income, and improving standards of living in developed and developing economies is fueling demand for natural and organic personal care products. Also, consumer demand is rapidly shifting towards natural and organic products due to stringent government regulations and policies against the use of chemicals and growing environmental safety concerns globally.

The need for enhanced security and monitoring in organizations across the globe are the major factors driving the IT infrastructure monitoring market. However, factors such as security concerns among the users, especially for solutions requiring public connectivity and security, is expected to hinder growth of the global IT infrastructure monitoring market.

However, a patient may suffer from irregular heartbeat at any point in time, thereby requiring continuous monitoring for a longer period. Holter ECGs are capable of recording data for a longer period, and transferring the same to doctors for analysis.

Glycobiology is the pursuit to decipher the information communicated by carbohydrate molecules – the carbohydrate code or glycocode. Glycans or carbohydrates are one of the fundamental classes of macromolecules present in biological systems, and are formed by individual sugar units called monosaccharides linked to each other in multiple ways. Glycans are involved in every aspect of biochemistry of life in a way that proteins and peptides cannot be evaluated without understanding science that deals with the study of synthesis, structural elucidation, functional property identification, and mechanism of interaction of glycans with biological molecules such as lipids and proteins.
