Industry Dynamics
Growth Drivers
The advantages of simulation over conventional learning, increasing need for minimally invasive treatments, mounting healthcare expenditure and increasing emphasis on patient safety are the primary growth drivers for the healthcare simulation market. The demand for minimally invasive procedures is increasing in order to overcome the complications of conventional surgery such as fatigue, blood clots, infection, postoperative pain, and muscle atrophy.
Training and Education: Healthcare simulation offers a practical and hands-on approach to training healthcare professionals, allowing them to acquire and refine clinical skills in a safe environment before working with real patients. It is particularly valuable for complex procedures, rare scenarios, and emergency situations.
Patient Safety: Simulation-based training enhances patient safety by reducing medical errors and adverse events. Healthcare professionals can practice critical skills, such as diagnosing and managing emergencies, without compromising patient well-being.
Cost-effectiveness: Simulation can reduce the costs associated with training and education by minimizing the need for expensive equipment, consumables, and patient care. It also reduces the impact on patient flow in clinical settings.
Technological Advancements: Advancements in virtual reality, augmented reality, haptics, and artificial intelligence have expanded the capabilities of healthcare simulation, providing more realistic and immersive experiences.
Regulatory Requirements: Regulatory bodies and accreditation organizations often emphasize the importance of simulation-based training and competency assessment in healthcare education. This has driven the adoption of simulation technology across various healthcare disciplines.
Moreover, the swiftly progressing medical simulation market provides medical students, nurses, doctors, and other healthcare professionals with numerous simulation products and services with the imitation of reality allowing examination of promising changes, experiencing situations. The initiation of simulation in healthcare has drastically decreased the amount of deaths owing to insecure care. In addition, the performance of clinicians has enhanced with the usage of simulation techniques.
Lack of healthcare personnel, mounting pressure on educators, improving healthcare infrastructure in developing countries and budding alertness on simulation learning in developing countries are also facilitating the growth for the healthcare simulation market. Technological improvements are also driving the growth of the market. For instance, in January 2018, CAE introduced CAE LucinaAR with Microsoft HoloLens, the reality childbirth simulator with incorporated mother-baby physiology. It permits beginners to understand the anatomy within the patient simulator.
