Healthcare providers typically manage kidney failure, diabetes, and respiratory failure with large, bulky medical equipment in a hospital setting. Conventional interventions typically reduce patient mobility; the treatment burden, mental anxiety, potential for non-compliance, and other drawbacks for specific therapies can result in poor health outcomes.
Wearable artificial organs are medical devices for the management of organ dysfunction. They perform the function of an organ while allowing patients to be mobile and independent inside or outside of their homes, or even in a hospital setting. This growth opportunity-technology (GO-TE) explores the emerging wearable artificial organ industry, discussing wearable kidneys, wearable pancreases, and wearable lungs.
The GO-TE explores various emerging innovations in the research stage and those that have been commercialized, and considers the future direction of each wearable. Technology and market drivers and challenges are explored in detail. Notable funding and acquisition activities in the last 2 years also are investigated. Growth opportunities offered by advanced sorbent technologies, artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things, advanced vascular access technologies, faster-acting insulin analogues, and dual-hormone insulin pumps are discussed. Strategic
recommendations for key participants are also put forth.
This research service also offers insights on the IP landscape and key patents in the last 5 years.
Increasingly prevalent kidney failure, diabetes and respiratory failure are conventionally managed by interventions which often reduce the mobility and independence of the patient. The mental anxiety and probable non-compliance of the patient lead to poor overall outcome in the patient. Emerging wearable artificial organs are wearable format medical devices which perform the function of an organ while allowing the patient to be mobile and productive, and it can be used in cases of organ dysfunction. Wearable artificial organs allow patient mobility inside or outside their homes, or within a hospital. The continuous therapy with wearable organs enables enhanced clinical outcome in the patient, and the increased independence enables increased productivity of the patient. The devices enable home care and elder care. The wearable artificial organs is also capable of facilitating remote or virtual therapy and monitoring of patients, which is of prime interest during the COVID-19 pandemic. This research service (RS) explores the wearable artificial organs industry with scope limited to wearable kidney, wearable pancreas and wearable lungs. The RS lists the various conventional interventions employed for kidney failure, diabetes and respiratory failure and its challenges. Wearable artificial organs (kidney, pancreas and lungs) are defined and their benefits are explored. Various wearable organs (kidney, pancreas and lungs) under development and commercialized are investigated. The report also covers some notable innovations in different segments of the industry.
