Body-Worn Temperature Sensors - Idea Of Ambient Intelligence To Overcome The Challenges Of Everyday Life
Increasing awareness about fitness and health among people of all the
age groups is propelling the growth of body-worn temperature sensors
globally. Body-worn temperature sensors continuously monitor the
health aspects such as body temperature, heart rate and pulse rate in
infants, elders and patients. Temperature sensors are embedded in
wearable devices to monitor temperature and other bodily activities.
The demand for body-worn temperature sensors is increasing in the
hospital sector due to low level of human intervention in operating
these sensors.. At present, there are different types of wearable
sensors in the market such as smart watches, sleep sensors, wearable
patches, smart clothing and hand worn terminals among others.
How is Wireless Sensor Technology Gaining Prominence?
Today, wireless sensor technology is considered one of the key
research areas in computer science and healthcare sector applications
for a better quality of life. Wireless sensors and sensor networks in
combination with computing and research in artificial intelligence
has built a cross-disciplinary idea of ambient intelligence to
overcome the challenges of everyday life.
In recent years, the increasing geriatric population pool in
developed countries has become a concern. According to statistics
from the Population Reference Bureau, in the next 20 years,
individuals aged 65 and over will account for almost 20% of the total
population in developed countries. Hence, governments and healthcare
providers in these developed countries are continually striving to
provide quality care and services to the rapidly growing elderly
population, with an effort to reduce healthcare costs.

To achieve this objective, wearable and implantable body sensors are
a tool that has prominent application to integrate sensing and
consumer electronics technologies that allows people to be monitored
during everyday activities.
What are the Factors Fuelling the Market for Body-worn Temperature
Sensors?
Body sensor network systems have the ability to provide healthcare
services such as medical monitoring, oversee home appliances,
emergency communication, memory enhancement, and medical data access.
Continuous monitoring of patients with wearable and implantable
body-worn temperature sensors facilitates early detection of
emergency conditions for high-risk patients and also provides several
healthcare services for people with varying cognitive and physical
disabilities.
Research in various interdisciplinary fields such as computing,
engineering, and medicine means that that the broad idea of wearable
and implantable body sensor networks (WIBSNs) holds promise for smart
healthcare. The factors are collectively responsible for driving
demand for wearable temperature sensors, and are thus fuelling the
body-worn temperature sensors market.
Moreover, the compressed and portable nature of wearable temperature
sensors will positively impact the growth of the market. Increasing
demand for smartwatches, heads-up displays, and hand-worn terminals
is accentuating growth of the industrial and infotainment sector at
present.
Transparency Market Research has published a new report on the global
body-worn temperature sensors market. As per the report, the global
body-worn temperature sensors market stood at US$7 mn in 2013 and is
predicted to reach US$93.4 mn by 2020. The report, titled ‘Body-Worn
Temperature Sensors Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share,
Growth, Trends and Forecast 2014 - 2020’, states that the global
body-worn temperature sensors market is predicted to expand at a
45.70% CAGR during the period between 2014 and 2020.

Sensors Market:
The global body-worn temperature sensors market is a niche industry
with a handful of established players leading in the market. The top
five players accounted for 69% of the global market. Key players in
the market include: Analog devices, Maxim Integrated, Texas
Instruments, Measurement Specialties Inc., and STMicroelectronics.
Since entering into the market requires high initial capital
investments, it is tough for new entrants to compete with existing
products and technology, suggests a new report by Transparency Market
Research (TMR). However, the rising demand for low-cost devices among
the middle class is expected to create an opportunity for new
entrants in the market.
