  Global Medical Oxygen System Market Insights Medical oxygen systems such as oxygen concentrators and compressed oxygen cylinder are majorly used in homecare settings, and are mostly preferred by elderly patients who have difficulty in mobility, and depend on a reliable oxygen supply. Some common chronic medical conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic bronchitis, emphysema, a common long-term effect of smoking requires oxygen therapy or supplemental oxygen in order to get the enough oxygen. Various type of oxygen systems are used to delivered the controlled amount of oxygen to the patients. The homecare settings segment in the global medical oxygen system market is expected to witness significant market value, owing to rising prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) among the geriatric population. For instance, according to World Health Organization (WHO), in 2016, 251 million people around the world developed COPD. The global medica

  Breath analyzers are medical devices that are used to detect various compounds from exhaled breath of an individual. Breath analyzer mostly used to detect the blood alcohol content though it can also be used to detect the drugs, tuberculosis, asthma, and other diseases related to the respiratory system. However, it cannot measure the blood alcohol concentration directly, and further requires analysis of blood sample. The increasing road accidents due to over consumption of alcohol and the laws which have been enforced for prevention of this things are allowing the use of breath analyzers by law enforcement agencies or by person himself. Breath analyzers might be used in various areas such as by traffic policemen to detect over consumption of alcohol during driving, by professionals to restrict a drunken person to enter into the company premises or any other social places, or can be used in medical emergencies where many patients for emergency care are under the influence of alcohol t

  Lab-on-a-chip Market– Insights Lab-on-a-chip (LoC) integrates different forms of analyses such as chemical synthesis, biochemical operations, and DNA sequencing onto a single chip. Miniaturization and optimization of these biochemical operations has resulted in cost efficiency and improved diagnostic speed. Moreover, LoC is a device that is capable of scaling single or multiple laboratory functions down to chip-format, where the size of chip ranges from millimeters to a few square centimeters. LoC is mainly the integration of electronics, fluidics, optics, and biosensors. Increasing application of LoC in the medical field to diagnose various infections and diseases such HIV infections, chronic disease and in the field of botany is gaining traction. This is expected to drive growth of the market. Demand for LoC devices is high owing to its features such as easy portability, automated sample handling, and re-configurability. LoC devices are suitable for point-of-care diagnosis as they
