“A modern medical gadget is a ‘smart’ device created on the basis of innovative technologies that facilitates the process of diagnostics, treatment and monitoring of the patient’s health,” explains Faina Filina, Development Director of the International Medical Cluster (IMC) Foundation.
The expert specifies that gadgets will not replace medical care, but will improve its quality and availability. "Smart" devices are especially relevant for patients with limited mobility and in regions where there are problems with the availability of medical services.
There are currently many devices on the market that can track heart rate, blood pressure, sleep time, blood oxygen saturation levels, blood sugar levels, and ECG, said AI specialist and CEO of Mirey Robotics Andrey Natashkin.

In clinical settings, such devices are less common. According to the expert, maintaining optimal health and well-being is important for overall well-being.
Global manufacturing of medical electronics
With the development of communication technologies, telemedicine and virtual consultations have become widespread. The largest share of the production of "smart" devices is in North America.
— In 2021, the global medical device market was valued at $31.5 billion. It is expected to grow by 6.2% on average per year, and this will continue until 2031. According to preliminary estimates, by 2031 the market will reach a value of $132.1 billion, — said Faina Filina.
In addition to the United States, the leading positions in this segment of the study are assigned to Japan - 28.7% and Germany - 16.8%. It is expected that by type of product, the field of diagnostics and monitoring will dominate the market of portable medical devices by 2027.
In an interview with Izvestia, Konstantin Mantsvetov, CEO of Mobile Inform Group, clarified that it is important to evaluate the global market as a whole — this is a fairly labor-intensive and lengthy process, and verification of the collected analytics is not always accessible and easy. However, even this analysis does not provide complete data, since there are many options for purchasing wearable devices from government customers and not all of them are uniform.
According to experts, the most popular devices in 2024 will be gadgets for use in cardiology, orthopedics, and for monitoring diabetes.
