Release date: 2015-04-30
Medical sensors are now almost ubiquitous and continue to grow. In 2012, the market reached 8 billion US dollars, of which biosensors accounted for more than 60% of total revenue. By region, the North American market accounts for 42%, Europe 32%, and Asia 26%.
This year, the consumer wearable market is expected to grow by 290%, mainly due to the promotion of smart watches and health and fitness bracelets. In the next four years, the Internet of Things in the healthcare market will grow by 59% annually.
There is no doubt that medical sensors will be the next growth point, and many companies have tried to capture this fast-moving trend. At the end of 2014, a number of companies took part in Nokia's “Sensing XCHALLENGE†sensor challenge with their own sensor ideas. Let's take a look at the entries:
DMI
The DNA Medicine Institute (DMI) won the final award for its "rHEALTH" system. rHEALTH is a compact, portable device that accurately diagnoses hundreds of diseases with just one drop of blood, whether it's the common cold or the Ebola virus. DMI has a wide range of research, focusing on global health, first aid and critical care, and aerospace medicine. rHEALTH was originally developed for the needs of NASA and has therefore been tested in simulated lunar and zero-gravity environments.
2. Biovotion
Biovotion is a medical device company in Switzerland that specializes in continuous wearable monitoring and its products include the Vital Signs Monitoring (VSM) platform. The VSM is usually tied to the user's arm and can monitor a range of vital signs such as body temperature, blood oxygen, activity, heart rate and skin perfusion. This data can be uploaded to the cloud and viewed on a PC or smartphone. VSM won the "Outstanding Award" and a $120,000 prize.
3. Eigen Lifescience
The Eigen Lifescience team consists of four students and two consultants at Stanford University. Using a year to develop a micro device, it can test whether a patient has hepatitis B in less than 10 minutes. The device mainly utilizes the microprocessor of the smart phone, which is low in cost and easy to carry. Designed for developing countries with tight medical resources, the device is designed to quickly identify patients who need priority treatment. In the future, the detection range of the device may be further expanded, such as testing for HIV or heart disease.
4. Endotronix Wireless Health Monitoring
Founded in 2007, Endotronix is ​​a wireless health monitoring sensor. This experimental product is implanted during an intubation procedure and can be sent to a secure web platform without wires or implanted batteries. Sensors are designed to improve patient quality of life and treatment outcomes while also reducing costs.
5. GMR biosensor
The GMR biosensor was jointly developed by the Mayo Clinic, the University of Minnesota and several other companies. It is a portable, low-cost, easy-to-use and accurate test device that detects biomarkers in serum and urine, as well as heavy metals in lake water.
6. Gues team
The Gues team was founded 10 years ago and the entry was AcuPebble. It is a wearable breathing and heart monitoring device that monitors apnea by acoustic signals captured from the respiratory tract. It is characterized by its small size, ease of use, accuracy and long-term monitoring. AcuPebble is primarily designed for patients with epilepsy, but can also be used to monitor patients with heart disease.
7. Beta-Bioled Blood Analyzer
The device's research was launched in Shanghai in 2012 and was originally called the “Alpha-Project†project. This is a handheld blood analyzer that performs a full blood analysis with a few drops of blood and presents the results in a form that everyone can understand.
8. Atoptix team's light sensor
The Atoptix team consists primarily of two Ph.D. graduates from Pennsylvania State University who have developed a miniature light sensor that works with smartphones or other devices. The sensor is of great use in biomedical or other markets, and in addition to being nominated for the final list of the Sensing XCHALLENGE Challenge, the product won the third place in the Vodafone USA Foundation's Wireless Innovation Contest.
9. eyeMITRA
Diabetic retinopathy is an important cause of blindness, and eyeMITRA is a mobile retinal imaging and predictive analysis tool. It allows patients with diabetes to self-test at a lower cost through a sensor attached to the phone, especially for patients in developing countries who are unable to perform regular eye exams, allowing them to assess their eye health. The technology was developed by the Camera Culture Group, a division of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Media Lab.
10. Hemolix
Fatal pregnancy complications are worrying every pregnant woman and family, and Hemolix's medical device technology quickly diagnoses HELLP syndrome (a serious complication of hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy). With inexpensive devices attached to smartphones, patients can quickly and accurately measure plasma hemoglobin concentrations to determine if they are HELLP syndrome. The technology was developed by the University of South Florida.
11. SensoDx
SensoDx is a micro medical device company founded in 2014. The company's main focus is on chip-based diagnostic devices that offer a range of testing services at lower prices, such as oral cancer, trauma, heart disease, ovarian cancer, drug abuse and prostate cancer. There is no need to wait a few weeks for the SensoDx device to give results in a matter of minutes.
