Market Trends of Asia Pacific Wireless Healthcare Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the APAC Wireless Healthcare Market according to our research experts:
Application in Hospitals and Nursing Homes Holds Significant Market Share
- Wireless technology creates highly connected healthcare environments, and it is helping hospitals address many challenges. It is reshaping the future of healthcare, for both patients and healthcare professionals.
- Due to the increasing number of wireless medical devices in hospitals, there is a vision of the connected hospital, which may be a fully integrated hospital, where wireless technologies allow caregivers and patients to roam throughout the hospital while providing accurate and timely monitoring.
- In connected hospitals, caregivers are, therefore, able to focus on providing the best quality of care to their patients, rather than administrative tasks. For instance, in a connected hospital, caregivers use wireless medical equipment to provide the best quality of care to patients, rather than being preoccupied with time-consuming administrative tasks.
- New infrastructure developments, from robust wireless bridge communication systems to secured low-power Bluetooth modules, are allowing hospitals to deploy advance.Recently, Yonsei University Health System, one of the oldest and largest private university hospital networks in South Korea, signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with SK Telecom, South Korea's largest wireless carrier, to build a 5G-powered digital hospital.

China Holds a Significant Share
- China plays an important role in smart and wireless healthcare. The key hospitals in the country, such as West China Hospital of Sichuan University, are leading the deployment of 5G networks for clinical practices, as their smart medical strategy.
- China has started playing a leading role in some areas of smart medical care, with several top hospitals, including the West China Hospital of Sichuan University, taking the lead in deploying and applying 5G in their clinical practice and smart medical strategy.
- The year 2019 is also regarded as one of the crucial periods for Asia-Pacific, in terms of pursuing fundamental reforms. Hospitals are increasingly collaboratively working with ICT companies for digital transformation. For instance, in March 2019, Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital in China and Huawei Technologies signed a partnership agreement for building a wireless healthcare hospital by integrating 5G, Big Data, artificial intelligence, and other technologies to provide more accessible healthcare services and precision medicine and to build better patient-doctor relationships.
- Further, wireless technology creates highly connected healthcare environments that can help hospitals address these challenges, and it is also playing a critical role in reshaping the future of healthcare, for both patients and healthcare professionals in the region. In the connected hospitals, connecting medical devices to EHR (Electronic Health Records) systems reduced the time it takes to enter the vitals, from 7-10 minutes to less than 1 minute, per patient.
