RNA therapeutics and vaccines have been around for a long time, but the COVID-19 pandemic enabled their mass-market commercialization. Industry players saw mRNA vaccines developed for COVID-19 as effective for reducing the impact of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in populations. Moderna emerged as the first player to develop and commercialize an mRNA vaccine...

As the number of aging, technologically obsolete imaging systems at medical facilities heightens the need for replacement to new imaging equipment with advanced technology, hospitals and imaging centers (especially in developing economies) seek Managed Equipment Services models that provide a viable long-term equipment procurement strategy. Managed...

Assisted reproductive technology (ART) includes advanced fertility treatments and procedures, such as the manipulation of eggs, sperm, or embryos to increase the chances of a successful pregnancy. This study primarily examines the market for in vitro fertilization (IVF), a common ART procedure. It highlights innovations around the pre-implantation ...

Structural heart diseases (SHD) encompass cardiac conditions that cause abnormal blood flow inside the heart's chambers, which can be wrong blood flow direction or blood stagnation. Structural abnormalities in the heart lead to impaired functioning rather than the heart's blood vessels. The cardiovascular implants industry has developed prosthetic ...

An increasing focus on biologics, genomics, and multi-omics; the adoption of digital technologies; and a shift to patient-centric models are transforming the life sciences industry. At the same time, the emergence of value-based models, R&D activities to treat complex diseases, and healthcare consumerism provide an impetus to precision medicine. Wi...

Human wounds, especially chronic nonhealing wounds, have emerged as a significant clinical challenge for healthcare providers due to traditional wound care products’ inability to treat biofilm-associated infections in wounds, prolonging the wound healing process and difficulty in reducing trauma during wound management. In addition, the rising nu...

Bionic devices are mechatronic or electronic platforms that can perform the physical and biological functions of body parts or organs that are lost or damaged because of chronic conditions or accidents. Patients that suffer complete vision loss because of retinal diseases; upper and lower limb amputations caused by accidents or chronic diseases; an...
