Healthcare information technology (IT) is a vast field that involves the use of information technology for designing, creating, developing, using and maintaining information systems in the field of healthcare. Healthcare IT market is growing at a fast rate due to technological advancement in the field and increasing demand for improved healthcare facilities worldwide. Healthcare IT allows exchange of health-related information among organizations electronically. On the basis of applications, healthcare IT market can be segmented into clinical technology, non-clinical technology and payer technology. Various wireless technologies are available in the market such as radio frequency identification (RFID), bluetooth, WLAN, WWAN, WMAN, zigbee technology and others. Use of healthcare IT lowers the cost of treatment and reduces errors associated with healthcare facilities; thus improves the efficiency of the healthcare system.

Western blotting is a technique used in cell and molecular biology that helps to detect and analyze a specific protein molecule from a mixture of proteins. It is done by using specific antibodies. Western blotting technique is used by pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, diagnostic laboratories, research institutes and others. In western blotting technique, a mixture of proteins is separated based on molecular weight and type, using gel electrophoresis. Western blotting technique involves three steps including gel electrophoresis, membrane transfer and blocking. After separation of proteins by size and transfer to a solid support, the target protein is marked by using a proper primary and secondary antibody for visualization. Western blotting is also known as immunoblotting due to the use of antibody to detect its antigen. Western blotting is used in various applications including diseases diagnosis, agriculture, biochemical, biomedical research and others.

Packaging of pharmaceutical products and drug delivery systems is an essential step in the pharmaceutical industry. Pharmaceutical packaging equipment provides safety and quality of packaging for pharmaceutical products. Unlike traditional packaging systems, pharmaceutical packaging equipment used now a days are modern, flexible, automated and are integrated to meet pharmaceutical products requirements. Pharmaceutical packaging equipment includes primary packaging equipment, secondary packaging equipment and equipment for labeling and serialization. Pharmaceutical packaging equipment may be used for packing of solids, semi-solids, liquids and others. Pharmaceutical packaging equipment helps in reducing time for packaging of pharmaceutical products which helps to increase production and innovations in drug delivery systems and personalized drugs.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an integrated healthcare system which is used for imaging internal parts of body. It is most widely used for diagnostics imaging of central nervous system for detecting stroke affected areas of brain, brain tumours, imaging blood vessels and spine lesions. It involves the use of magnetism, radio waves, and a computer to produce images of body structures. MRI scans are also used widely for cardiac and liver scans. MRI systems market has experienced high growth rate due to keen interest shown by developers and manufactures for this technology and its patient friendly nature.

Medical practice management software (PMS) is extensive healthcare software which is used in day to day operations of medical practices. Medical practice management software capture, stores, manages and transmits information related to the health of individuals or the activities of organizations that work within the healthcare sector. Medical practice management software helps in integration of electronic health records (EHR) to provide interoperability solutions and assist in the overall practice management process. In addition, the medical practice management software helps in real time verification of the patients, schedule appointments, patient's registration. Medical practice management software also helps in various other processes such as medical billing, storing demographics data, maintaining list of insurance payers, claim management, billing tasks and others.

E-health is a process of delivering healthcare and health resources by electronic means. It helps healthcare providers and patients to interact with each other with the help of electronic media. It is one of the fastest growing sectors in overall healthcare market. Currently, telemedicine market represents a small percentage of e-health market. Telemedicine is defined as use of telecommunication and information technology to deliver clinical solutions to the patients. It includes use of various applications and services such as smart phones, emails, two-way videos and wireless tools to deliver efficient results. Use of telemedicine helps in improving individual health with the help of electronic media. It also increases accessibility by reducing distance barriers between medical service providers and patients. Various services, such as primary care and specialist referral service, patients monitoring, medical education and healthcare information, are provided with the help of telemedicine. Telemedicine comprises of medical records, medical advices, medical imaging and health informatics. It helps healthcare professionals to diagnose, cure and evaluate patients in remote locations, with the help of telecommunication technology. Telemedicine is dependent on health Information technology for its various applications such as administrative billing, electronic health records and store and forward image transfer software.

Surgical lamp is a device which is used by medical personnel, such as doctors, dentists and surgeons, during surgical procedures such as neurosurgery, dental surgery, endoscopic surgery and optical surgery. Surgical lamps provide optimal illumination for operations. Surgeons require high intensity light that do not produces shadows and gives perfect brightness so they can visualize small and low-contrast objects in body cavity during surgery. Surgical lamps are used to meet the needs of operating room from large hospitals to ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs). These lamps help doctors and surgical teams to perform their task more safely and with less stress on their eyes. There are different types are lamps that are used by the surgeons during performing surgeries, such as tungsten, xenon halogens, quartz and light emitting diodes (LEDs).

A radiology information system is a network software suite used by radiology departments to manipulate, store and distribute patient radiological data and imagery. A radiology information system helps in managing the administrative and operational functions of radiology. It complements hospital information system. Radiology information system is designed specifically for the radiology provider to take advantage of integration with the medical center's healthcare information system. It helps in patient management, patient tracking and scheduling, document scanning and technical files creation. It is considered as core system for electronic management of imaging departments. Use of radiology information system ensures high security, business integrity and confidentiality through full information log to the system by the administrator and eligible users. A web-based radiology information system is accessible from anywhere and also adapts to the needs of multi-site enterprises or hospitals and integrates mammography workflows, peer review and reporting to eliminate disparate systems.

Hospital beds are designed to provide relief to the patient during hospitalization in hospitals. A single bed frame divided in three sections, head, middle and foot. Some of the common features of hospital beds include adjustable height of entire bed, adjustable side rails and electronic buttons to operate bed or connected electronic devices. In addition special beds, such as wheels, standing beds, turning and legacy beds, also provide comfortable hospitalization in hospitals. Some of these beds are used to treat spinal trauma patients. Hospital beds can also be divided on the basis of their usage, such as general purpose beds, birthing beds, pediatric beds and pressure relief beds. General purpose beds consists stiff board, which is used to increase the flexibility of the bed. Birthing beds used for women in pregnancy cases. Pediatric bed is an advanced type of hospital bed, which is made up of wire panted steel with mattresses holder. Pressure relief hospital beds are advanced powered mattresses, which is used to decrease the risk of ulcer from human body.
