Answers from an Expert: A Conversation with Tom O’Brien of SABIC Innovative Plastics on Materials for Home Healthcare Medical Devices
Q. What are today’s most important trends regarding home healthcare medical devices?
One of the most important trends we are seeing in the use of home healthcare medical devices is increased usage due to the move toward self-care to reduce costs and boost efficiency of home care delivery; consumers’ increasing medical knowledge and desire to play a larger role in their own care; and greater emphasis on monitoring of widespread, chronic conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure to improve outcomes. Examples of home healthcare devices include continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) devices, nebulizers, drug delivery devices, digital signal processing hearing aids, glucose monitoring systems and self-test (in vitro diagnostic) devices. The global market for home healthcare devices is set to grow by more than nine percent by 2012 with the market exceeding $70 billion in 20121.
