Tele-intensive care ICU (tele-ICU) is a telemedicine program that deals with a patient's critical care at a hospital. Tele-ICU connects the critical care team at a remote site with the bedside ICU team through audio-visual communication and monitoring equipment. This system includes hardware that captures patient data and then transmits it via a command center from the remote ICU to a physician at a remote location. The ICU system collects and transmits information on the patient's physiological status, therapy, and medical records.

Tele Intensive Care Unit Market Dynamics

The tele-intensive care unit (ICU) market is also being propelled by the rising prevalence of chronic diseases among the population, such as cancer and neurological disorders and the rising use of therapeutic gadgets in the ICU. Furthermore, the tele-intensive care unit (ICU) market benefits from global population expansion, increased awareness, increased healthcare expenditure and improved healthcare infrastructure. Furthermore, in the projection term, technological advancements in treatment facilities provide profitable opportunities for tele-intensive care unit (ICU) market competitors.

The increase in prevalance of chronic diseases in the market will drive the market growth

The rise in the global elderly population and the growing demand for remote monitoring are driving the tele-intensive care unit (ICU) market. The tele-intensive care unit (ICU) market is growing due to the increased popularity of these services due to features such as more effective healthcare delivery, real-time monitoring and remote access to patient data and benefits such as reduced clinical decision time. The tele-intensive care unit (ICU) market is influenced by an increase in the use of these systems to improve patient care, a high adoption rate due to shorter hospital stays, and an increase in the number of procedures that require intensive care.

With the aging population and the prevalence of chronic diseases on the rise, there is a rising need to identify new approaches to improve patient outcomes, expand access to care, and lower medical costs. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, heart disease, cancer, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and diabetes account for more than two-thirds of fatalities in the United States in 2018. In addition, chronic diseases account for approximately 75% of total health spending in the United States, with an estimated yearly cost of USD 5,300 per person. Healthcare providers, insurance payers, and governments are attempting to change how care is delivered while also lowering the cost of care by utilizing remote patient monitoring, which uses devices to remotely collect and direct information to a remote diagnostic testing facility for interpretation.

In addition, the World Ageing 2019 report forecasts that there were around 703 million people aged 65 and up in the world in 2019. In 2050, this population is expected to increase to 1.5 billion. Patients' hospitalization is predicted to rise as the aging population causes an increase in health-related difficulties, particularly cardiovascular and neurological illnesses. This hospitalization will likely result in surgery that necessitates intensive care, which will fuel the tele-intensive care unit industry.This contributes to the growth of the global tele intensive care unit  market.

High cost associated with the maintenance and annual costs of ICU is likely to hamper the market growth

The high costs of ICU maintenance and annual charges are projected to hamper the tele-intensive care unit (ICU) expansion. In the forecast period, the cost of patient treatments is expected to pose a challenge to the tele-intensive care unit (ICU) market.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

Due to lockdowns business shutdowns,  the COVID-19 has impacted economies and industries in several countries. The COVID-19 crisis has overburdened many countries' public health systems, highlighting the critical need for long-term investment in health systems. As the COVID-19 pandemic spreads, the healthcare industry's growth is expected to slow. The life sciences segment is thriving due to increased demand for in-vitro diagnostic products and increased research and development activities worldwide. However, the medical technologies and imaging segment is experiencing a drop in sales due to fewer surgeries and delayed or prolonged equipment procurement. Furthermore, after the pandemic, virtual consultations with healthcare professionals are expected to become the standard care delivery model. Digital health will thrive in the coming years as telehealth transforms care delivery.

Furthermore, disrupted clinical trials and subsequent drug launch delays are expected to pave the way for entirely virtual trials in the future. New technologies such as mRNA are expected to emerge and disrupt the pharmaceutical industry in the coming years. The market is also expected to see more vertical integration and joint ventures. Telemedicine is one of the promising technologies receiving a lot of attention during the pandemic. Several initiatives and implementations related to tele ICU have been carried out by various government organizations and market players, which are expected to drive market growth. For example, the New Hampshire Society of Anesthesiologists (NHSA) has launched a Tele-intensive Care Unit (Tele-ICU) hub in July 2020 to collaborate with physicians in rural hospitals to ensure infected patients from across the state receive critical care expertise at no cost while receiving care close to home in Chicago. In addition, Advanced ICU Care will launch comprehensive tele-ICU care in August 2020 in collaboration with CentraState Medical Center in New Jersey. As a result of the factors above, the pandemic is likely to impact the market under consideration positively.

Tele Intensive Care Unit Market Segment Analysis

The hardware segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period (2022-2029)     

The therapeutic devices sub-segment is predicted to have a considerable market share in the hardware section of the market examined. Telemedicine's role in the ICU via therapeutic equipment is unavoidable, as telemedicine has a high success rate with patients in critical care. Therapeutic gadgets serve as a vital link in delivering high-quality care between local and major hospital networks.

 In several affluent countries, therapeutic gadgets have successfully transferred neurological/cancer– exams, diagnoses, and consultations over long distances. Several studies by engineers and physicians have been done in the last decade to use robotic devices for various heart and brain indications, including stroke therapy. In the decentralized tele-ICU, therapeutic devices are extremely useful. The first specialized Robot-Assisted Cardiac Surgery Unit in India opened in 2019 at Apollo Hospitals Bangalore, India.

In addition, Johnson & Johnson will launch its robot-assisted surgery system in 2020. The new system has six arms integrated into the operating table to provide more control and flexibility in surgery. Furthermore, the platform has a zero-footprint design to facilitate patient access, increase operating room space, and improve workflow. As a result, introducing such technologically advanced devices will facilitate segmental growth. Even when they are not engaged in therapeutic interactions, many nursing activities increase their dependency and provide better patient management through therapeutic devices. There is an increase in cancer research centers that use teletherapy under radiation therapy, where external beams are involved, for cancer treatment. Therapeutic devices under tele-ICU are increasing their significance, with the potential to assist providers and caregivers in improving post-acute care, particularly for patients leaving ICUs.

Lockdown measures implemented around the world have resulted in decreased public mobility. They have had a significant impact on the therapeutic devices industry, as the rate of non-immediate treatment is being postponed to reduce the burden on healthcare infrastructure.
