If your company is planning to introduce a new wireless medical device to the market, don't forget to design for the whole world - not just the U.S.
The global market for wireless medical devices has never been hotter. A 2013 report, from research conducted by Research and Markets, projects the market will expand more than 20 percent within a five-year period. The wireless health market, currently at $23.8 billion, is expected to reach $59.7 billion by 2018, with the growth attributed primarily to patient monitoring applications, diagnostics, aging populations and growing hospital deficits.
