Federal legislation is required in European countries for verifying the presence of doctors and patients. This explains the limited adoption of medical wearables. A robust network and learns in real time. As a result, even if they are not in the same location, using AI and 5G can aid in providing care in real-time. Therefore, the market for wearable medical devices may rise swiftly with the aid of cutting-edge technology. Enterprises in America and Europe oppose alterations to the patent legislation. Businesses that collect royalties from parties who violate patents are run by patent trolls. Companies try to sue one other and work out settlements for less damages.

Key Industry Developments:

• In January 2024, Sennheiser and Polar Electro worked together to introduce the Momentum Sport earbuds, which is the first instance of Polar's biosensing technology being used outside of its own products. With features including a body temperature sensor and a Photoplethysmography (PPG) heart rate sensor for tracking hydration levels during workouts, these German-engineered earbuds combine high-class music quality with Polar's fitness technology. The Polar Flow training app provides voice guiding, smart coaching, training statistics, expert-tier performance tracking, and access to the whole data analytics ecosystem. The market for wearable medical devices is expected to be impacted by this partnership since it would enable audio devices to incorporate biosensing technology for improved fitness monitoring and coaching.
• In June 2023, Google unveiled their most recent Feature Drop, which included several Fitbit devices updates. Notable additions include a menstrual health tile for period tracking and cycle state viewing for Versa 4 and Sense 2, a variety of exercise modes in the Exercise menu for Luxe, Charge 5, and Inspire 3, and the addition of a Daily Readiness Score that is accessible on all Fitbit devices and offers insights into whether the body needs rest or exercise. Because Fitbit devices now have more features and capability to meet a wider range of user health and wellness needs, this development is expected to have an impact on the market for wearable medical devices.
