Electrocardiograph (ECG) devices are used to record the heart activities through electric signals and are amplified on the ECG monitor. ECG devices are essentially adopted across various medical set ups to diagnose different types of heart diseases and arrhythmias in people, thereby assisting the appropriate therapy for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) patients. The key factors that drive the market growth include increase in number of CVD patients across the globe and rise in demand for portable diagnostic as well monitoring systems. In addition, increase in old age population globally, and favorable government regulations regarding the ECG devices supplement the market growth. The global ECG market was valued at $4,516 million in 2016, and is expected to reach $6,637 million by 2023, registering a CAGR of 5.6% from 2017 to 2023.

The Brazilian dental CAD/CAM materials & systems market was valued at $30 million in 2016, and is expected to reach $65 million by 2023, growing at a CAGR of 11.5% from 2017 to 2023. CAD/CAM is used in digital dentistry to design and manufacture dental prosthetics and restorations. CAD involves the use of computer technology for design documentation, whereas CAM systems use the models and assemblies created in CAD software to print 3D models of the designed parts. CAD/CAM materials are used to manufacture customized dental prosthetics, unique for every patient.

Teleradiology is the branch of telemedicine, which involves transmission of radiological images and related data from one location to another for diagnostic and consulting purpose. It is an advanced technology that has emerged due to the imbalance between demand and availability of diagnostic services. This is evident from the fact that high demand of radiology services in countries such as U.S., Singapore, and UK, were often unfulfilled owing to dearth of skilled and specialized professionals specific to teleradiology. For instance, in U.S., number of CT scans being performed is on an increase over the years, however, there is a persisting shortage of radiologists in the country. In Singapore, there is a paucity of radiologists for night coverage. In the UK, a radiologist takes 21 days on an average to submit an MRI report. All these challenges were met by teleradiology and thereby led to the growth of tele-based technologies and surge in demand for teleradiology techniques globally. The global teleradiology market accounted for $2,143 million in 2016 and is expected to reach $7,345 million by 2023 with a CAGR of 19.0% from 2017-2023.

OLANSI, a Guanghzhou based company that specializes in manufacturing water treatment equipment, is pleased to offer the Hydrogen Water Maker or a water generator that runs on a patented technology. The technology uses the process of electrolyzation wherein the water is purified through electrolysis thereby generating huge amounts of hydrogen. Hydrogen is believed to have multiple health benefits.

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is an important scientific technique in molecular biology that amplifies single or few copies of a piece of DNA. In addition, it is helpful in generating thousands to millions of copies of a particular DNA sequence and investigating diseases such as AIDS, tuberculosis, Lyme disease, and middle ear infections. The technology involves three major steps-denaturation, annealing, and extension. It is applicable in medical, research, clinical diagnostics, and forensics. It has been utilized since decades as a standard method for research on nucleic acids (RNA and DNA) in laboratories. PCR technologies available in market are real-time quantitative (qPCR), digital PCR (dPCR), inverse PCR, multiplex PCR, assembly PCR, and standard PCR. The need of effective diagnostic molecular technique in healthcare to detect diseases fuels the demand for the growth of the market. The global polymerase chain reaction technologies market was valued at $7,027 million in 2016, and is estimated to reach $10,776 million by 2023, registering a CAGR of 6.2% from 2017 to 2023.

In vitro diagnostics (IVD) is the technique in which medical devices and reagents are used to examine specimens such as blood, urine, stool, tissues, and other body fluids, which are derived from the human body to detect diseases, conditions, and infections. These tests can be performed in stand-alone laboratories, and hospitals- Some of the significant technologies incorporated in vitro diagnostics include polymerase chain reaction (PCR), microarray techniques, sequencing technology, and mass spectrometry, which are used for test sample preparation. Incessant innovations in IVD product design and technology have encouraged doctors and researchers to shift their focus from traditional diagnostic methods to personalized medicines.
