Rising Incidence of Chronic Diseases Fueling Sales of Portable Ultrasound Devices

Ultrasound is widely used for both therapeutic and diagnosis purposes. Ultrasound imaging is a commonly used medical imaging method that employs the use of high frequency sound waves and their echoes for producing cross-sectional images of the human body.

Ultrasound devices are very easy to operate and take from one place to another, especially in remote areas. These devices are primarily used at point-of-care, on account of the fact that they are smaller and lighter and highly convenient to carry.

Medical ultrasound systems operate at very high frequencies, commonly in the range of 1-10 MHz. These machines calculate the distance from the organ or tissue to the probe with the help of the speed of the sound within the tissue and the time taken for each echo to return. The increasing incidence of chronic diseases and the soaring population of geriatric people are the two major factors fueling the demand for portable ultrasound devices.

 

Across the globe, the sales of portable ultrasound devices are predicted to surge in Europe in the coming years. This will be because of the soaring healthcare expenditure, the surging population of geriatric people, and the rising incidence of chronic diseases in the various European countries. In addition to these, the presence of a rapidly improving healthcare infrastructure is also propelling the demand for portable ultrasound devices in the region.

This will be because of the mushrooming geriatric population and the surging occurrence rate of various chronic diseases in the region. Additionally, the existence of a large population and a rapidly improving healthcare and medical infrastructure is massively boosting the sales of portable ultrasound devices in this region. Koninklijke Philips N.V., Hitachi Ltd., General Electric Company, FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation, and Siemens AG are some of the leading portable ultrasound device-manufacturing companies all over the world.

Hence, it can be said with surety that the sales of portable ultrasound devices will surge across the world in the forthcoming years, primarily because of the rising incidence of chronic diseases and the surging population of geriatric people around the world.
