WIRELESS
IN HEALTHCARE:
A study
tracking the RFID, wireless sensor solutions, and telemetry
technologies by medical device manufacturers and healthcare
providers
Wireless
data technologies, including Wi-Fi, ZigBee, packet-based
cellular radio, Bluetooth, ultra wideband, and RFID
are changing healthcare. This most recent research was
conducted to explore the adoption of wireless technologies
and RFID in the healthcare arena and how vendors and
service providers stand to profit from this trend. Our
research reveals evidence of moderate to strong growth
in clinical and out-patient settings. The overall
U.S. wireless data networking and related servicing
opportunity in the Healthcare sector will grow to over |
Wireless Healthcare Markets by Revenue
|
| $7 billion by
2010, with the potential to be much higher given proper
development. If you're interested in knowing more about
trends in adoption , you should consider the Wireless
in Healthcare Report. |
| The
report includes 86 pages of data and analysis including:
• Forecast of future deployments
• Projected growth for 7 technologies
• Hurdles and hotspots in adoption
• Case studies of existing deployments
• Extensive primary research with vendors and
adopters of wireless in healthcare
Plus, you get 2 hours of analyst support from The FocalPoint
