Frost Radar : Point-of-Care Ultrasound (Portable and Ultraportable), 2023

Portable and ultraportable point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) systems have gained prominence in recent years due to their versatility and ease of use. These devices allow clinicians to acquire high-resolution images in real time and enable fast and well-informed clinical decisions, particularly in care settings where mobility and user-friendliness are important. Moreover, the incorporation of telemedicine and AI-based solutions into POCUS devices is improving both the staff and patient experience. Frost & Sullivan expects portable and ultraportable POCUS devices to sustain steady growth during the next 5 years, fueled by the need to reach a wider patient base for disease screening programs and basic diagnostic exams to enhance patient wellness. Original equipment manufacturers and startups are therefore developing portable and mobile medical imaging equipment that can be utilized in multiple clinical settings and in a wide array of indications. This Frost Radar focuses on portable and ultraportable POCUS that cater to a wide range of clinical applications involving both established and emerging clinical areas.
