Reports on new and innovative sensor technologies for the health care market.The health-care and medical applications sensor market is projected to expand at a compound annual growth rate of 13.1% between 2016 and 2022, according to a report issued in March 2017 by the research firm Frost & Sullivan. A key factor driving sensor sales is the growing availability of consumer and clinical devices that use sensor technology to diagnose, monitor, and track disease and fitness. Within the next few years, an emerging generation of smaller, less expensive, and highly sophisticated sensors will find their way into a wide range of personal and professional devices. With more patient care moving out of hospitals, the use of sensor-enabled home diagnostic and monitoring devices is expected to soar, the report notes. The market for sensors used in wearable health and fitness devices is also poised to grow rapidly.
