Robotic surgery, one of the most talked about innovation in the healthcare IT system, refers to more than just substituting a doctor with a robot in the operation theatre. Robotic surgery involves the use of latest healthcare IT systems to conduct minimally invasive surgeries which are increasingly getting popular amongst patients worldwide. In the year 1997, when a woman’s fallopian tubes were connected, the rise of minimally invasive procedures took place and since then it has gone through significant developments. Today, with the advent of artificial intelligence and robotics in healthcare, there are newer forms of surgical procedures which have come into play and are making surgeries very effective. Over the last five years, several technology trends in surgical robotic products have disrupted the healthcare IT space in ways never imagined before. As per Reuters, by 2021, one in every three surgery in the United States will be conducted by a robot. Let us take a look at what makes robotic surgeries so popular amongst doctors even though they believe robotic surgeries require more advancements before they can be mainstream. 1) Robotic surgery allows the surgeon higher dexterity which was unthinkable until a few years ago. The motion range is wide, and the accuracy and precision of incision is excellent. 2) Robots allow doctors better access to area of operation within the patient’s body and chances of success become much higher. 3) Patients experience significantly lower pain than the traditional surgeries and the recovery as well as the healing time are much sorter in comparison with traditional post-operative care. 4) Not only does the patient have lower risk of infection even the stay at the hospital is shorter. This is a huge advantage as countries like India have more patients than hospital beds and doctors. As a result, there are newer technology trends in surgical robotic products that are being observed in the healthcare space and a few of them are: 1) There is likely to be an increase in the number of outpatient surgery centres which will cater to ambulatory surgical procedures. 2) The next step in remote access to patient’s tissue will be possible through surgical robotic products. 3) Touchscreen solutions that render sharper and high definition display to surgeons during procedures will also see higher growth. Gaming on smartphones is something that every age group enjoys. App stores have this one thing in common – where there is a range of games, each one catering to a different kind of gamer. So, imagine the kind of competition that app developers have. More importantly, they have to find ways to keep their app offering on the store for longer and look for ways to enhance the life of it. One way to do that is to add new developments, improve on the software, and build new updates and patches that can help make their offering very distinct from that of the competitors. In order to determine these parameters, and market their app the right way, developers usually stick to this two-step approach – to first build the app, and then work with Competitive Benchmarking of Mobile Gaming Companies after that so that it reaches more users. The main job of these benchmarking companies is to carry out various testing activities and begins at the development phase itself. After the development is over, they move on to the final end testing to make sure that the app works on the stated OS, to determine bugs that are likely to occur on certain devices or the kind of limitations the app has – and if there’s a way to fix them. But why is this after effect required? The kind of software used, the concept behind the game that some developers are capable of producing is of exceptional quality – this is usually what’s seen from the industry leaders and they also usually set the bar for others to follow. Testing is the only way to know if the app you develop falls in line with current industry standards. The reasons are simple – they’ve invested millions of dollars into making that app happen, and they want the performance of the app to reflect that as well.

Decoding the growing popularity of Online Grocery Market in India The diabetes monitoring meters we use today are much better than earlier, and patients have a number of inexpensive choices in the Global Self-monitoring Blood Glucose Devices Market. A majority of them have been optimized for daily or frequent use, they are now much more accurate, and can be used pretty much anywhere. Although it might not look like it – the real expense in using the glucometers lies in the test strips and that they have to be purchased regularly, and not so much the actual glucometer itself. Some of the brands that make these glucometers and strips will customize their product offerings for their buyers and they keep themselves in the competition as well. They accomplish this by adjusting the kind of advantages the strips offer the users such as faster tests that can be done under three seconds, or advanced software that can record results. Other times you get these bundled packages where the actual glucometer is free and you only pay for the strips. Diabetes is a kind of condition that has aspects that require regular monitoring, and depending on the blood sugar levels of the person, will need daily readings. This has, over time, been made convenient, through the use of blood sugar monitoring devices that are compact and handy, even portable giving the patient greater freedom when it comes to diabetes management. Most devices today have measure blood sugar levels without fail but have other features too. One is the micro glucometer that you can use with your smartphone that is a new innovation but is redefining how diabetics normally monitor blood glucose. It is smaller than usual devices and connects to the phone via the audio jack and operates with the help of an app. Of course, strips are involved but these lancets supporting tools are undergoing changes as well. For example, hygienic storage conditions and keeping needles, paper strips out of sunlight to enhance their accuracy is a must but can be a hassle at times. Manufacturers are looking for ways to create the ‘ultimate’ strip that has higher durability, is moisture and sunlight resistant and works twice as better.

Chew tobacco as a form of recreation is pretty common in India with nearly 48% of tobacco consumption taking place in chewable formats like khaini, zarda, gutka etc. Cigarettes are extremely popular in the urban areas, while their rural counterparts drive the bidi industry. However, after the healthcare industry took cognizance of the harmful effects that tobacco consumption creates, the tobacco industry went through some strenuous times. In early 1990s when the governments of various countries made tobacco expensive, analysts thought it will bring down the consumption. However, that didn’t happen. Ever since then, with each passing year the government continued to levy huge taxes on tobacco products’ sales, but sales numbers continued to grow. While this was becoming the trend, the tobacco industry simultaneously started to look at other alternatives and come up with innovative products. As a result, flavored cigarettes came into being. Sheesha (Hookah), became a popular product to be consumed at cafes and pubs.
As a result, the Tobacco market in India recorded an export of manufactured and unmanufactured tobacco of nearly INR 60.13 Billion in the year 2016. Nonetheless, the tobacco industry has been pretty unpredictable due to various health claims going against it and the unsatisfactory regulatory pressure that is squeezing the operators dry. For instance, the largest manufacturer of Tobacco in India, ITC, has divested its tobacco business to such an extent that now 60% of the company’s revenue is from other businesses like personal care, stationary, hospitality etc. and only about 40% of the revenue is from tobacco which is likely to further decline as ITC has entered the space of foods and is likely to even get into healthcare. While this may be a trend observed in the organized players of the Tobacco market in India, there is a huge unorganized sector which not only produces tobacco as a crop but is also engaged in manufacturing bidis and other formats in which tobacco can be consumed. That space is likely to continue to grow, however the revenue outcomes may not be as great as the cigarettes market. |
