(PharmaNewsWire.Com, May 06, 2017 ) Disposable medical device sensors are portable scanning devices, which are mainly used for patient monitoring and diagnosis of diseases. These sensors are used to measure breathing rates, heart rates, and body temperature. Moreover, disposable medical device sensors play a vital role in the identification of disease causing microbes such as virus, bacteria, and fungi.
The global disposable medical device sensors market is categorized based on various types of sensors, sensor technologies, and applications. Based on products, the report covers strip sensors, invasive sensors, ingestible sensors, implantable sensors, and wearable sensors. Strip sensors hold the largest market share in the global disposable medical device sensors market. This is due to the increasing usage of strip sensors in glucose monitoring tests and disease diagnostic technologies. However, ingestible medical sensors are the fastest growing sub-segment in the global disposable medical device sensors market.
Based on sensor technologies, the report covers biosensor technology, image sensor technology, pressure sensor technology, accelerometer sensor technology, and temperature sensor technology. On the basis of medical applications, the report covers patient monitoring, and diagnostic and therapeutic applications of medical sensors.
