Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

the rated load capacity of the crane or hoist.
Refuse to make lift if you are unsure of any issues.
Do not proceed until all issues are resolved.
35. Operational Safety
Take instructions only from the person designated to
give signals.
Do not ride or allow other people to do so.
36. Operational Safety
To pick up a load, move the crane and
hoist/hook directly above the load to
eliminate the possibility of side loading
and minimize load swing.
37. Operational Safety
Before lifting, ensure that everyone is
clear of any pinch or crush zones.
When starting to lift the load, only lift
it a few inches off the ground to verify
hoist brake is functioning properly
before continuing with the lift.
38. Operational Safety
Make sure the rigging is in good
condition and that safe rigging
practices are applied.
Ensure rigging is appropriate for
the load size, shape and
weight.
39. Operational Safety
Always maintain a clear
view of the crane path
so you can observe any
obstacles or personnel
in your path.
40. Operational Safety
Use one continuous
motion when traveling.
Try not to start/stop
(plug) as this will result in
load swing.
41. Operational Safety – Moving a
Load
Do not lift loads over people. Stay out from
under the load and make sure other people
remain at a distance.
Do not become distracted while traveling. If
you need to speak with someone, cease
operation of the crane.
42. Operational Safety
Never leave a suspended
load unattended. If you
must leave the area, lower
the load to the ground
before doing so.
43. Operational Safety – Moving a
Load
Stay clear while moving a load. Do
not allow the load to swing. Use a
rod to push the load or a tag line to
pull the load. Exercise particular
caution with sheet lifters. Be sure to
keep the load level. Tilting the lifter
could cause the load to slide off the
lifter.
