Wearable patches are medical devices that adhere to the skin and continuously monitor various health parameters of the user such as heart rate, blood pressure, glucose levels, respiratory rate, temperature, and ECG. These patches are compact, easy to use, and provide real-time health data to users as well as healthcare professionals.

Market Overview:
Wearable patches monitor physiological parameters without invasive procedures. They are becoming popular for remote patient monitoring applications such as chronic disease management and elderly care. Medical devices contributing the largest revenue are patches for cardiac monitoring, glucose monitoring, and respiratory monitoring.

Market key trends:
One of the key trends in the wearable patch market is the increasing popularity of drug delivery wearable patches. Conventional drug delivery methods such as oral pills, injections, and IVs have certain limitations which wearable transdermal drug delivery patches aim to address. These patches offer advantages such as controlled drug release, precise dosing, and non-invasiveness over traditional methods. Cardiac patches and glucose monitoring patches are also gaining prominence in the market, driven by the growing incidence of heart diseases and diabetes globally. Research into new applications, such as fertility and addiction monitoring patches, is further expanding opportunities in this market.
