Striving to catch ailments earlier, non-invasive detection tech garners fans

Implications - As the medical industry continues to rely on intense, resource-dependent tests to diagnose ailments, a rise in non-invasive detection technology that decreases requirements for formalized check-ups and bolsters decentralized healthcare puts an emphasis on upstream approach doctoring. The global attention being placed on the surge of elderly populations is pressuring the healthcare industry to become more effective in keeping them healthy with early detection technology that places non-invasive and cost-effectiveness front and center.
Trend Themes
1. Non-invasive Detection Technology - Increasing global focus on non-invasive detection technology and cost-effectiveness provides disruptive innovation opportunities in decentralized healthcare and upstream approach doctoring.
2. Wearable Sensing Technology - The rise of wearable sensing technology, such as seizure-sensing earpieces and hydration-detecting canteens, creates disruptive innovation opportunities in preventative healthcare and personalized medicine.
3. Low-cost Diagnostic Testing - The development of low-cost diagnostic testing technology, such as the CNBP System, provides disruptive innovation opportunities for improving healthcare access in developing countries and isolated parts of the world.
Industry Implications
