Market Insights
Body-worn temperature sensors are emerging as one of the most promising technologies for the real-time monitoring of body temperature. The global body-worn temperature sensors market is primarily driven by increasing demand for wearable medical devices and is expected to grow incrementally during the forecast period. In recent years, healthcare monitoring devices have gained traction, augmenting and improving the quality of life. Body-worn temperature sensors are used to monitor a person’s heart rate, pulse rate, and count footsteps in addition to measuring body temperature. These sensors can sense and communicate either directly through embedded wireless connectivity or through any other device. Thus, body-worn temperature sensors allow patients to assess and self-monitor physiological information and provide interfaces to healthcare providers.
Body-worn temperature sensors can be easily managed and are becoming increasingly reliable for patient care. The accuracy and continuity of temperature monitoring help in the early detection of illness and signal a range of health conditions over a specified time. Equipped with sensors, these medical devices are beneficial in diagnosing patients on a daily basis, which in turn reduces hospitalization bills for patients. In addition, since physical activity is directly concerned with success and accomplishments, body-worn temperature sensors are gaining popularity among soldiers and athletes for monitoring their body temperature.
Body-worn temperature sensor networks have the potential to revolutionize medical research, as their uninterrupted operations make them suitable for various medical applications. Body-worn temperature sensors are gaining wide adoption due to advances in sensor technology, continuous miniaturization of electronics, augmented computing power, and a multitude of research focusing on integrating intelligent solutions with electronic systems and components. For instance, the introduction of wearables equipped with sensors is expected to gain prominence in the coming years. Thus, growing digitization coupled with growing health awareness regarding chronic diseases among people across all age groups is expected to spur the market for body-worn temperature sensors over the forecast period (2018–2026).
