The advent of disposable sensors and biosensors has played a vital role in the evolution of sensors in healthcare.

Disposable medical sensors are small, lightweight devices that are used in healthcare settings to monitor various physiological parameters such as heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels. These sensors are designed to be used only once and then discarded, hence the term “disposable”.

Disposable medical sensors typically consist of a sensor element that detects the physiological parameter being measured, a processing unit that analyzes the sensor data, and a transmitter that sends the data to a display or monitoring device. They are often attached to the patient’s body using adhesive or straps, and can be worn continuously for a certain period of time to provide real-time data on the patient’s health status.

The use of disposable medical sensors has become increasingly popular in recent years due to their convenience, cost-effectiveness, and reduced risk of infection transmission. They are widely used in hospitals, clinics, and home healthcare settings to monitor patients with a variety of medical conditions, and are an important tool in ensuring that patients receive the care they need to stay healthy and recover quickly.

The advent of disposable sensors and biosensors has played a vital role in the evolution of sensors in healthcare. Hence, the disposable medical sensors are a preferred option among patients and healthcare professionals for easy detection of diseases. In this regard, many key players develop and commercialize novel sensors. For instance, in September 2016, Abbott received approval for its FreeStyle Libre Pro system, a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system.

The rise in adoption of modern and novel sensor drives the disposable medical sensors market growth in India. Moreover, increase in number of players in the country and expansion of medical electronics sector further fuels the market growth. In addition, robust government initiative toward improvement of healthcare facilities through insurance schemes is anticipated to provide lucrative growth opportunities in the country. The market in India is expected to exhibit the highest CAGR of 12.1% from 2017 to 2023.
