Global patient lateral transfer market: Increasing prevalence of home healthcare services

The demand for healthcare products and services by patients and healthcare providers has been increasing owing to factors such as longer life expectancy, growing aging population, and increasing cases of chronic diseases. There is an increasing demand for home healthcare, owing to factors such as preferences for recovering at home than in the hospital, especially for older people, lower costs and better follow-up in case of chronic illnesses.

“Home healthcare services help in improving outcomes and patient experiences at a lower cost as they support follow-up treatments and allow patients to recover in the comfort of their homes. Home healthcare is important in treating the elderly and in the management of chronic diseases. The rising number of patients demanding home healthcare increases the need for caregivers to safely handle patients. This is driving the demand for patient lateral transfer devices, which provide safe, effective, and comfortable transfer of patients,” says a senior research analyst at Technavio.
