Market Driver

Rising Concerns over Alarm Fatigue

The growing concern over alarm fatigue is fueling the expansion of the market, promoting healthcare providers to seek advanced technologies that can effectively reduce unnecessary alarms and alert overload. Excessive and frequent alarms often desensitize clinical staff, leading to delayed or missed responses to critical events. 

By prioritizing solutions that streamline alarm notifications and enhance the relevance of alerts, healthcare organizations aim to improve clinical efficiency and decision-making. This demand supports faster intervention, fostering a safer and more comfortable environment while enhancing overall patient safety and care quality.

• According to Providence Health Care, up to 95% of clinical alarms are false or non-actionable. This frequent barrage of alerts can increase patient anxiety, disrupt sleep, and desensitize clinicians, thereby affecting the quality of care.

Market Challenge

High Implementation and Maintenance Costs

A major challenge hindering the expansion of the clinical alarm management market is the high implementation and maintenance costs associated with deploying advanced systems. Setting up such solutions demands substantial capital for hardware, software, integration, and staff training. 

Additionally, ongoing expenses for system maintenance, updates, and technical support add to the financial burden. These economic challenges restrict the adoption of comprehensive alarm management systems.

To address this challenge, companies are developing scalable and modular clinical alarm management solutions that can be customized based on the facility’s size and budget. companies are offering cloud-based platforms with subscription models, reducing the need for significant upfront investment. Additionally, they are focusing on seamless integration with existing hospital infrastructure to avoid costly system overhauls.

Market Trend

Personalized Alarm Settings

Personalized alarm settings are emerging as a key trend in market. This shift allows healthcare providers to tailor alarm thresholds and notifications according to each patient’s unique condition and needs. 

By customizing these settings, false alarms and unnecessary alerts are significantly reduced, which helps minimize alarm fatigue among caregivers. This targeted approach ensures that alarms are more relevant and meaningful, enabling faster and more accurate responses to critical situations.

• In February 2024, Royal Philips received FDA 510(k) clearance for its latest IntelliVue patient monitor software, featuring the Philips Sounds alarm package. The solution reduces patient monitoring alarm noise by up to 66%. Designed in collaboration with clinicians and sound experts, this innovation fosters a more therapeutic environment for patients and caregivers.
