This device cannot be reached directly by the primary care nurse. The nurse call system is a patient's lifeline in a hospital room. The call may be initiated by patients or staff from any "space station" spot, such as the patient's bedside, bathrooms, toilets, utility rooms, and other areas.

MARKET DRIVERS:

The growing demand for people for quality patient care is majorly driving the nurse call systems market growth.

Nurse call systems act like a bridge between patients and healthcare providers by filling the communication gaps. In addition, these devices provide faster response times and aid in improved efficiency in healthcare facilities. In recent years, nurse call systems have gained recognition as an essential tool in hospitals as it eases the pressure on healthcare providers to offer improved patient care at a reduced cost. In addition, the demand for quality healthcare services is growing significantly due to the increasing aging population and the rising prevalence of chronic diseases. In situations like these, nurse call systems are doing a great favor to healthcare providers in managing the growing demand for quality healthcare services by streamlining the communication channels and improving efficiency.

The growing aging population worldwide is fuelling the growth of the nurse call systems market.

As per the statistics published by World Health Organization (WHO), the population of 60 years old and more reached 1 billion in 2020, which is expected to grow to 1.4 billion by 2030. Therefore, the healthcare needs of people increase with age and people who are aged are more likely to be prone to various chronic diseases and age-related diseases and require continuous monitoring of health and regular care. Using nurse call systems, patients can call for help whenever required; hence these devices play a major role in providing a safe and secure environment for older patients.

The increasing healthcare expenditure is favoring the nurse call systems market growth.

Healthcare expenditure in countries such as the United States has continuously grown over the last few years. As per the data published by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the national health expenditure of the U.S. was valued at USD 4.3 Trillion in 2022. Healthcare expenditure is also growing gradually in the European region with time. The healthcare expenditure in the European Union was estimated to be 2 trillion Euros in 2019, which was a 2.5% increase from 2018. Due to the continuous growth in healthcare expenditure, Healthcare providers are always looking for ways to deliver improved patient care at a lower cost. By using nurse call systems, healthcare providers can provide quality healthcare delivery at lower costs, as these devices offer reduced response times and improved workflow efficiency. Likewise, the growing emphasis of healthcare providers to offer high patient safety and patient satisfaction is resulting in the growing usage of nurse call systems and boosting the market growth.

Technological advancements are favoring the growth of the nurse call systems market.

The key market participants have added features such as wireless connectivity, voice recognition, mobile integration, and real-time monitoring to the nurse call systems by using the latest technologies. These developments have made communication effective and helped deliver better quality patient care. The increasing number of initiatives from various governments to develop the healthcare infrastructure in developing and underdeveloped countries is fuelling the market’s growth rate. The governments of multiple countries have been investing significant amounts in developing healthcare infrastructure such as constructing new hospitals, upgrading the capabilities of existing healthcare facilities, and implementing healthcare IT solutions. Implementing healthcare IT solutions in the healthcare systems is a prime focus of governments of many countries. Nurse call systems are one of the essential components in healthcare IT solutions as they deliver reduced response times, improve communication and collaboration among healthcare staff and deliver quality patient care.

MARKET RESTRAINTS:

The Telecare IP Nurse Call System enables collaboration between healthcare providers and patients while restricting person-to-person interaction. However, factors such as the high cost of implementation, the lack of awareness of the home healthcare system in the community, and the lack of skilled professionals or Nurses are expected to hinder the market growth. In addition, the lack of Nurse call System adoption in rural areas, lack of guidelines and legislation, minimal input from doctors in selecting healthcare applications, and competition from traditional healthcare providers are further anticipated to stifle the growth rate of the global nurse call systems market.

Other than the above, the high costs associated with adopting the nurse call system are predicted to showcase a negative impact on the adoption and the growth rate of the market. In addition, the efficacy of the nurse call system depends on the level of hardware, software, and staff training at the healthcare facility. As a result, final patients need to invest extensively in these areas to incorporate and use the nurse call systems effectively. These are some of the key factors that restrict the nurse call system market growth.

Impact of COVID-19 on the global nurse call systems market:

According to FDA, The Telecare IP Nurse Call System is a system that enables wireless contact between healthcare providers and patients treated during an outbreak of COVID-19 in healthcare settings, including temporary hospital settings. Patients can request assistance from healthcare providers via a wireless wrist or neck-worn transceiver. The telecare IP Nurse Call System also links the ventilator to the wireless nurse call system through the "nurse call interface" required for most ventilators. This allows the ventilator problems and warnings to warn the healthcare provider via the nurse call system.

The telecare IP Nurse Call System can remotely provide ventilator-related warnings and enable patients to communicate that they are in distress to the healthcare provider, which could minimize the exposure of healthcare providers to SARS-CoV-2. The Telecare IP Nurse Call System can reduce the exposure of healthcare providers to SARS-CoV-2, a virus that causes COVID-19, as the system provides remote monitoring abilities. This will include the Nurse Call System as a means of diagnosis and assistance for proper care without the risk of increased communication and the spread of coronavirus. In addition, during the outbreak of COVID-19, the Nurse Call System's remote communication and monitoring capabilities can reduce the level of contact between healthcare providers and patients in isolation rooms, thereby reducing the risk of SARS-CoV-2 exposure to the virus causes COVID-19 to healthcare providers.
