Market Overview

Smart stethoscope system is used to track the heart beats, and conditions of ear, nose, throat, lungs, skin. Smart stethoscope systems are non-invasive and come at a relatively low cost. Smart stethoscope systems have an electronic configuration based on transducer, which converts sound or vibrations into electrical signals. Smart stethoscope systems have characteristics including small size, low cost, noise reduction, and capability to integrate with EKG electrodes.

They can be accessed through apps to keep a record of patient’s medical data; the app comes with HIPAA compliance, which can be used in hospitals and clinics. Smart stethoscope systems come with low frequency microphones, Bluetooth connectivity, and USB port that help to recharge the battery and transfer or download the data. Smart stethoscope systems provide digital graphs, numerical data with great sound effect in case of any abnormalities in patients.

The primary factors expected to drive the growth of the smart stethoscope systems are rising healthcare expenditure and increased spending by hospitals to improve the medical facilities. Moreover, increasing number of hospital admissions due to rise in number of chronic diseases is further expected to fuel the growth of the smart stethoscope systems market over the forecast period.

Additionally, high number of geriatric population admitted to end user facilities is also responsible for the robust growth of smart stethoscope systems market. Leading manufacturers are focusing on to manufacturer improved and specialized version of smart stethoscope systems, which is expected to contribute to the growth of the smart stethoscope systems market.

On other hand, lack of funding by hospital management for procurement of secondary tools needed by the hospital professionals is expected to deter the growth of smart stethoscope systems market. Lack of awareness among general population regarding the specialized smart stethoscope systems provided by the key manufacturers is also a factor expected to hamper the growth of the smart stethoscope systems market over the forecast period.
