Wireless Opportunities in Healthcare 2011

(The Market for Bluetooth, RFID, Zigbee, UWB WWAN, WMAN, WLAN and other technologies)

In previous editions of Kalroama Information's wireless technologies market report, we described wireless IT systems and devices being used in some model healthcare environments. The use of these technologies has moved well beyond these settings and this new edition should be of interest to marketers of many products, even those outside of healthcare IT. While not every healthcare system has gone wireless, 2011 has seen no letdown in the implementation of these technologies in healthcare. Almost all healthcare organizations have had to adjust to the use of these technologies in some form.

Kalorama's Wireless in Healthcare 2011 is your guide to the growing market for wireless healthcare applications in the United States. This report contains explanations that cut through the confusion surrounding technologies and provide readers with a total picture of wireless in healthcare.

Current and Future US Markets for Bluetooth, Zigbee, RFID, UWB, WMAN and WLAN

Since the previous edition, some technologies have performed better than others and 2010 results have led to reforecasting of some technologies. The competitive arena has not dramatically changed since last year, with a few key players dominating and opportunity for smaller companies, but developments have been interesting.

The report provides:

  • Discussion of Trends in the Wireless Technology in Healthcare Marketplace, Products and Customer Case Studies of Wireless Applications.
  • Current Revenues and Forecasts to 2015 for all Wireless Technologies by Healthcare Application.
  • Current Revenues and Forecasts to 2015 for all Wireless Technologies by Technology Type.
  • Scores of Tables and Figures provide accessible information about the wireless in healthcare marketplace.
  • Detailed Profiles of 9 Key Companies in this market, major products and key executives.
  • Explanation of the Major Technologies, ( Zigbee, Bluetooth, RFID, UWB, WMAN and WLAN )that are being used in healthcare.

Because of the focus on healthcare IT in the United States, the report focuses on this region. Some discussion of non-US opportunities and company efforts is included. The report provides today's market figures and realistic projections for future revenues based on consideration of data and extensive interviews with industry experts. Looking at several detailed case studies, the report shows how wireless is already being used by major healthcare companies across a wide variety of applications, including:

  • Hospitals
  • Homecare and Telemedicine
  • Pharmaceutical Research (Clinical Drug Trials)
  • Inventory Control
  • Pharmaceutical Sales Force Management
  • Inventory Control
  • Physician Offices
  • Nursing Homes
  • Medical and Diagnostic Laboratories
