At present, the market for medical alert system is growing steadily. With the advent of technology, many manufacturers of medical alert systems have now removed the necessity to have a base station, owing to their limited range. Instead, mobile devices are now provided to the users, which incorporate both GSM and GPS services to connect the user directly to the monitoring center, and trace their exact location respectively. This has started off a brand new market, which is known as mobile PERS or mPERS. MobileHelp was the first manufacturer in the emerging field of mPERS. The explosion of Smartphone and Tablet users among old age groups has also forced Application Developers to develop a number of alternative Apps for the medical alert systems.
The global PERS market had been analyzed by three segments- namely Landline, Mobile, and Standalone. The global NCS market has also been segmented into three types: Traditional Nurse Call Systems, Advanced Nurse Communication Systems and Middleware Interfacing Nurse Call Systems. The home and mobile security are segmented into wearable and non-wearable devices based on the usage type. Some wearable alert devices are resistant to water and will not create a problem in bathrooms. These are capable of working for a range of about 1000 to 1500 feet inside and around home. Non-wearable medical alert systems are mobile medical devices that can be carried around. These devices are made further secure and accurate with GPS technology which enables to locate the user in emergency. Personal emergency response systems have the capacity to detect fall (standalone) and immediately contact the monitoring center assisting for help.
The companies that are currently involved in a number of developments in the apps for these systems are Guardly and Ping4alerts. AT&T recently launched a mobile personal emergency response system (mPERS), which is called EverThere, with the portable system that was acquired from Numera. The internal gyroscope and magnetometer help learn the user’s daily routine, and a number of accelerometers which can detect if the user falls down. Recent industry acquisitions and mergers such as Tunstall/America Medical Alert Corp. (AMAC), and MobileHelp/Halo also can guarantee the potential growth in the PERS market. According to the IndustryARC analysis, Hill-Rom Holdings Inc., Tyco SimplexGrinnell LP, Ascom Holding AG, Honeywell International, Inc., and Rauland-Borg Corporation held 41% share in the global NCS market in terms of revenue.
IndustryARC observes that the global market for medical alert systems is at present quite steady, and with the rise of a number of new apps, development is imminent. As new products hit the market, from different parts of the globe, new players are seen entering the field every now and then. The report created by IndustryARC follow the details and expands on the possible areas for growth in the future.
