The increasing occurrence of accidents and sports-related injuries serves as a major driver for the growth of the smart implants market. The rising number of such incidents leads to a heightened need for advanced treatment solutions, fostering a greater demand for innovative interventions that can deliver improved outcomes for patients.
For instance, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), sports and recreational injuries increased by 12% in 2022.
Smart implants can provide real-time data on patient movement, range of motion, and other relevant parameters, allowing healthcare providers to tailor rehabilitation programs to individual needs and track progress more accurately, and offer the potential for more personalized and effective treatment strategies.
Furthermore, smart implants can facilitate early detection of complications or issues related to the injury or surgical procedure. By continuously monitoring factors such as movement, pressure, or temperature, these implants can alert healthcare providers to potential problems before they escalate, allowing for timely intervention and improved patient outcomes.
