Food preservatives are added to the products during processing to avoid spoilage. Traditionally, salt and spices were used to preserve meat and other foods. The preservatives help in maintaining the essential food features such as texture, flavor, edibility and nutrition and reduce wastage through spoilage.
The digital therapeutics market is expected to witness a CAGR of 32.1% during the forecast period of 2025 to 2033, driven by the increasing burden of chronic diseases, the imperative to curb rising healthcare costs and ongoing technological advancements. However, regulatory challenges pose a notable restraint, necessitating collaborative efforts for streamlined validation processes. Market segmentation reveals distinct trends in application focus, end-use preferences, and sales channel dynamics.
Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices are the latest advancement in the diabetes monitoring devices market, in which a sensor is linked to the CGM device and is placed on the patient’s skin. The device measures glucose levels in the interstitial fluid at frequent intervals and provides data which is captured via a transmitter to the receiver. These newer devices are projected to show positive market growth in the forecast period, 2021-2029 owing to presence of factors such as increasing diabetic population, rise in technological development focusing on smart connectivity options thus providing remote monitoring by the physicians, rising demand for patient specific treatment approaches and continuous developing reimbursement scenario.
Diabetes is a prolonged, enduring disease characterized by high blood glucose level arising when the pancreas are no longer capable to secrete insulin: a key hormone that processes glucose to produce energy. Inability to produce insulin or use it effectively leads to the raised glucose level in the blood (hyperglycemia). Over long term, high blood glucose level can damage the blood vessels in the heart, kidneys, eyes or the nervous system.
According to WHO, there are an estimated of 253 million cases of vision impairment worldwide and among them, almost 36 million people are blind. Major causes of these vision impairment include cataract, refractive errors, glaucoma etc. If these eye-related disorders, mainly cataract and refractive errors, are not corrected timely, can cause blindness. There is a decrease in the prevalence of vision impairment due to awareness of general population, socioeconomic development and increased availability of eye care services. However, the number of cases with vision impairment could triple due to population growth and aging.
Wireless speakers and headphones encompass various speakers, sound bars, earphones and headphones which can be used to play audio from various types of electronic devices. Wireless speakers and headphones can be used with television sets, computers, multimedia players and smartphones, among others to enhance the volume and quality of the audio output.
Transformer cores are primary, secondary, or tertiary metallic windings used in diverse grades, and are fitted in transformers depending upon the type of transformer and its capacity. A low reluctance magnetic winding, also known as transformer core, is common to all the windings present in the transformer. The core is usually arranged around the windings to offer multiple paths for the magnetic waves to traverse.
Wound debridement is a medical procedure to remove non-viable tissue mass from the wound surface to promote the natural healing process. Wound debridement is done by using many techniques such as larval therapy, hydro-surgery, enzymatic and autolytic methods. Although wound debridement is a traditional technique, there is addition of new innovative techniques in the market.
Nutraceutical is a combined term for nutrition and pharmaceutical products that claim to exhibit immense health benefits. Considerable interest for nutraceuticals grew due to the bioactive components of nutraceuticals that have additive nutritional value to human health. Increasing economies of developing nations along with countries with emerging economies is expected to expand the nutraceuticals industry.
Biometrics in healthcare applications essentially refer to staff and patient identification solutions. Biometrics solutions are often used in combination with smart cards and passwords for secure access to sensitive records and reports, and to facilitate patient registration requirements. In the near future biometrics use in healthcare will reflect the growing demand to address healthcare frauds in the developed markets along with the escalating need to ensure patient privacy.
