Overview:

Body-worn temperature sensors are emerging as one of the most promising technologies for real-time monitoring of body temperature. The global body worn temperature sensors market is primarily driven by increasing demand for wearable medical devices and is expected to grow incrementally during the forecast period. In recent years, healthcare monitoring devices have gained traction, augmenting and improving the quality of life. Along with the body temperature, body worn temperature sensors are also used to monitor heart rate, pulse rate, and count footsteps of a person. These sensors can sense and communicate either directly through the embedded wireless connectivity or through any other device. Thus, body worn temperature sensors allow patients to assess and self-monitor physiological information and provide interfaces to healthcare providers. 

Body-worn temperature sensors can be easily managed and are becoming increasingly reliable for patient care. The accuracy and continuity in temperature monitoring helps in the early detection of illness and signals a range of health conditions over a specified time. Equipped with sensors, these medical devices are beneficial in diagnosing patients on a daily basis, which, in turn reduces hospitalization bills of patients. In addition, since physical activity is directly concerned with success and accomplishments, body worn temperature sensors are gaining popularity among soldiers and athletes for monitoring their body temperature.

Body worn temperature sensor networks have the potential to revolutionize the medical research as its uninterrupted operations make them suitable for various medical applications. Body-worn temperature sensors are gaining wide adoption due to advances in sensors technology, continuous miniaturization of electronics, augmented computing power, and multitude of research focusing on integrating intelligent solutions with electronic systems and components. For instance, the introduction of the hearables equipped with sensors are expected to gain prominence in the coming years. Thus, growing digitization coupled with growing health awareness regarding chronic diseases among people across all age groups is expected to spur the market growth for body-worn temperature sensors over the forecast period (2018 – 2026)
