Clinical Alarm Management Market Trends

• Increasing alarm fatigue to boost the market growth

The number of alerts of low clinical significance, resulting in alarm fatigue, has increased in recent years, mainly due to the increasing number of clinical alarm management devices, the increasing number of patients connected to various devices, and the lack of standardization across devices. Alarm fatigue, due to the high frequency of alarms, can desensitize healthcare personnel, resulting in alarms being ignored or switched off. This may result in potential critical notifications being overridden or avoided, resulting in severe consequences and placing future strains on hospital resources.

Furthermore, increased government initiatives in developed and developing countries for applying clinical alarm management will propel industry growth. Numerous initiatives undertaken by other organizations and the government to improve the health of the senior and handicapped population with the help of clinical alarm management is projected to foster business growth. Additionally, awareness regarding maintaining patient safety and several investments in Medicine technology by governments undertaken to support various clinical tools has enhanced the clinical alarm management market CAGR across the globe in recent years.

Additionally, the rise in the clinical alarm management market is attributed to the growing prevalence of chronic diseases coupled with longer hospital stays, increasing awareness among healthcare providers in optimizing patient safety using advanced technologies such as mHealth, clinical alarm management, and growing investment in healthcare infrastructure by government and private health care providers. For instance, according to AIIMS, for the years 2021-2022 up to September 2021, about 0.83 million (8.3 lahks) people visited OPDs, and 33,830 surgeries were performed. 67,961 people got admission to AIIMS. Such a high number of admissions and surgeries increases the demand for the implementation of clinical alarm management, thereby boosting the growth of the clinical alarm management market revenue.
