The Wearable Patch Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 718.8 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 23.% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.

Market Overview:
Wearable patches are portable devices that can be worn on the body as patches, temporary tattoos or stickers. These devices continuously monitor heart rate, glucose level, temperature and other vital health parameters through sensors. They offer convenience to patients and enable continuous remote patient monitoring without interfering in daily life.

Market key trends:
Continuous remote patient monitoring is a key trend driving the wearable patch market. Wearable patches allow continuous physiological data collection outside of clinical settings. They help physicians detect health issues early and enable timely treatment through remote monitoring of patients. This is advantageous for elderly populations and patients with chronic conditions. Furthermore, integration of artificial intelligence into wearable patches helps provides more accurate predictions and insights into patients' health conditions. AI-powered patches can detect irregularities and trigger alerts for conditions requiring immediate medical attention. The ability of wearable patches to improve patient care while reducing healthcare costs through remote monitoring is expected to further increase their adoption over the forecast period.
