This has caused the patient monitoring systems to percolate a fair share of the market and now it is time to take the initiative globally, ensuring patient safety in healthcare service delivery in every manner. For instance, "fall detectors", which are fitted with accelerometers to track if a patient under observation has fallen down, are a simple testament to this derivative theory. Wearables, neuro-signal sensors, video processing technology, GPS trackers, etc. are other devices that have greatly extended the ability of a healthcare provider to enhance their value proposition in terms of patient monitoring. With that being said, we have already entered a new era where hardware is cognizant of each patient's specific physiological metrics, and their unique medical monitoring needs. They are also agnostic to the environments they are used in, and what physical/electrical signs they must monitor, and even control, using remote patient monitoring capabilities. The market is now looking towards Artificial Intelligence and machine learning tools to collate various data points in various formats (electrical, audio, visual, vibration, heat, etc.) and create a single intelligent picture that doctors and nurses can confidently refer to. Alerting and communication powers are, of course, enhanced with mobility, interoperability and cloud adoption trends in the market.The reality is that the proverbial beacon guiding the evolution of patient monitoring systems has always been--and will always be--a patient-centric approach to solving problems. While the emerging vendors in the space are relentlessly looking for the next level value they can add to healthcare providers, care specialists, and patients--the major driving factor of innovation in the healthcare space revolves around saving lives.With that in mind, we present the special edition on patient monitoring solution providers that have brought enhanced capabilities to this space, essentially paving the way for better healthcare provisions globally.The Next EpochEditorial StaffAmbili SasidharanEllen Pearson Joe PhillipKathy ArnoldVivian MurrayRMS ShivAsher Blake*All Insights are based on the interviews with respective CIOs and CXOs to our editorial staff
