Wired Systems Segment, by Technology to Account Larger Share in Nurse Call Systems Market during 2023–2031
According to our new research study on "Nurse Call Systems Market Forecast to 2031 – Global Analysis – by Equipment, Technology, Application, End User, and Geography," the market was valued at US$ 1.97 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach US$ 4.65 billion by 2031; it is expected to register a CAGR of 11.3% during 2023–2031. The rising number of assisted living centers, recent developments by market players, and increasing incidences of Alzheimer’s disease are factors contributing to the growing nurse call systems market size. However, high cost of installation of nurse call systems hamper market growth. Further, the incorporation of AI, machine learning, and wireless technologies is expected to bring new nurse call systems market trends in the coming years.
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in nurse call systems enhances their functionality and effectiveness by making them more responsive and predictive through patient care. AI-powered nurse call systems offer predictive analytics and proactive care. AI algorithms analyze data from nurse call systems and other patient monitoring devices to predict potential health issues before they become critical, thereby allowing timely intervention. Further, AI capabilities initiate alerts based on urgency and patient needs, reducing alarm fatigue for nurses. Thus, they can prioritize a call from a patient experiencing severe pain or a critical drop in vital signs over less urgent requests. These advanced systems incorporate natural language processing (NLP) technologies that allow patients to communicate their needs verbally. This feature is particularly beneficial for patients who may have difficulty using traditional nurse call systems or those who prefer a voice-activated system. Thus, the AI integration in nurse call systems is transforming the way healthcare providers respond to patient needs, improving the quality of care and optimizing the use of resources.
Some other advancements in nurse call systems enable streamlined, customized communications among patients, clinicians, and caregivers, in turn enhancing patient satisfaction and improving the quality of care. A prominent use of mobile handsets is improving the effectiveness of call systems by incorporating real-time communications and data capture features to monitor both staff and patient activity. IP-based healthcare communication solutions, which leverage session initiation protocol (SIP) and voice-over-internet protocol (VoIP) that utilize smartphones allow instant communications among nurses. On a wireless device, a caregiver can schedule alerts, communicate with other staff, or direct a call to another staff member if they are not in a position to address it right away, which allows for quicker response time that makes the patient feel heard and attended at ease. In addition, advantages such as personal touch, wireless communication, wander tracking, direct connection, and specified alerts are adding to the popularity of nurse call systems in hospitals, clinics, assisted living centers, and other care facilities. Thus, the incorporation of AI, machine learning, and wireless technologies, etc., are emerging as significant future trends in the nurse call systems market.
The nurse call systems market analysis has been carried out by considering the following segments: equipment, technology, application, end user, and geography. The nurse call systems market, based on equipment, is segmented into integrated communication systems, button systems, mobile systems, and intercom systems. In 2023, the integrated communication systems segment held the largest nurse call systems market share.
Based on the technology, the market is segmented into wired systems and wireless systems. In 2023, the wired segment held a larger share of the market. A broad range of wired nurse call systems are available in the market. These systems are made as per the set industry norms using sophisticated technology. Wired nurse call systems are known for their sturdiness, lightweight, and shock-proof nature. These systems require minimum maintenance and offer high functionality. Hard-wired systems have underground or in-wall cabling to connect call systems to nurse stations. Installing these systems is a more labor-intensive process initially, and it is a reliable and highly suitable method for any new construction. Nonetheless, this option is also available for refurbishments wherever required.
By application, the market is segmented into emergency medical alarms, wanderer control, workflow support, and others. The emergency medical alarms segment dominated the market in 2023. Hospitals, clinics, and nursing homes have several patients who are admitted for severe, semi-severe, and minor health complications. Patients with severe health conditions need continuous monitoring to control and maintain their health conditions. Therefore, communication is required between nurses, doctors, and other medical staff members. Emergency rooms require high attention and quick response. Nurse call systems create an alarm at the press of a single button and enable nurses to take a quick action. Emergency rooms are equipped with various other medical devices and equipment, which are at a high risk of improper functioning due to interference. Emergency medical alarms created by nurse call systems allow the staff to take immediate rescue actions in case of mishaps. Thus, emergency medical alarms create real-time alerts and allow staff members to respond in minimal time; moreover, they help in two-way communications, thereby improving work efficiency and reducing healthcare costs.
Based on end user, the nurse call systems market is segmented into hospitals, nursing homes and assisted living centers, clinics, and others. In 2023, the hospital segment held the largest market share. Hospitals are the busiest healthcare providers among the healthcare centers and providers. The staff employed in hospitals is becoming more engaged with the need to manage the rising inflow of patients. The installation of advanced nurse call systems in hospitals lowers communication challenges and helps improve service quality. Nurse call systems are utilized in hospital areas such as general wards, emergency rooms, critical care units, consultation rooms, outdoor patient rooms, private rooms, and residential care homes, among others. Hospitals are shifting toward the adoption of nurse call systems as the nurse call systems allow cost reductions and enhance service efficiency and patient satisfaction.
Ascom Holding AG, Honeywell International Inc, Siemens AG, Ametek Inc, Austco Communication Systems Pty Ltd, Intercall Systems Inc., Schrack Seconet AG, TigerConnect, Securitas AB, and Baxter International Inc are among the leading companies operating in the global nurse call systems market.
Companies operating in the nurse call systems market adopt various organic and inorganic strategies. Organic strategies mainly include product launches and product approvals.
