Brain Monitoring Devices Global Market

Brain monitoring is a technology including the application of different devices to image or monitor the structure, function or pharmacology of the brain. Brain monitoring techniques are segmented into structural imaging and functional imaging where structural imaging includes the diagnosis of the nervous system in a larger scale for the disorders like tumor, injury by techniques like CT and MRI. Functional imaging includes the diagnosis in a finer scale for the Alzheimer’s disease and other psychiatric behavioural disorders by devices like EEG, MEG, ICP, TCD, oximeters and PET devices. The functional imaging data provides images of the brain as patients complete tasks, such as solving math problems, reading, or responding to stimuli such as auditory sounds or flashing lights. Current brain monitoring techniques provides both form and functions of the brain like brain anatomy, integrity of the brain structures, brain’s chemistry, physiology and electrical and metabolic activity. EEG records the electrical activity associated with the neuronal depolarization and MEG records the magnetic field produced by these electrical activity.
Improvements in technology, methodology and interpretation continue to come up at an enhancing rate in the field of brain monitoring devices market. From the past decade there are tremendous progressive refinements in brain monitoring devices in terms of portability, efficiency, cost and invasive & non-invasive nature. The transitions includes from conventional, heavy room occupying EEG monitoring machines to modern portable, wireless, mobile machines with advanced computational power . The recent advancements in these devices includes a new brain monitoring device by a research team from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania that is implanted with in the brain and naturally melts away over time hence avoiding the surgical removal. This implanted device continuously sends data regarding the brain health of the patients. Electrophysiological signals were tracked for 30 days by devices located on the surface of the brain cortex and the area between the skull and scalp.
Over the years, the speed, efficacy, cost-effectiveness of brain monitoring devices have spread its usage across all clinical applications, from epilepsy, stroke, dementia, TBI and other applications to surgeries and anaesthesia and so on.
