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.

Being a metropolitan, the city is filled with towering building and beaches but the sad part as with almost every Indian city
Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image

Stress:
Stress is a normal physical response to events that make you feel threatened or upset your
balance in some way. When you sense danger – whether it’s real or imagined – the body's
defenses kick into high gear in a rapid, automatic process known as the “fight-or-flight” reaction,
or the stress response.
The stress response is the body’s way of protecting you. When working properly, it helps you
stay focused, energetic, and alert. In emergency situations, stress can save your life – giving you
extra strength to defend yourself, for example, or spurring you to slam on the brakes to avoid an
accident.
The stress response also helps you rise to meet challenges. Stress is what keeps you on your toes
during a presentation at work, sharpens your concentration when you’re attempting the game-
winning free throw, or drives you to study for an exam when you'd rather be watching TV.
But beyond a certain point, stress stops being helpful and starts causing major damage to your
health, your mood, your productivity, your relationships, and your quality of life.
Types of Stress:
When thinking about types of stress there are two perspectives to consider (besides whether it is
the "good stress" or the "bad stress" of course).
Stress from a Physicist's perspective
Stress from Psychological perspective
5. Introduction to Psychology

You were probably searching for information about psychological stress. But it might help to
understand what psychological stress is if we understand the stress that physicists talk about. In
Physics, stress is a reaction to an external force. Too much stress, and an object breaks or
changes form.
That said, this page talks about types of psychological stress from here on out. We can talk about
psychological stress according to whether it is "good" or "bad." Or, we can talk about stress
according to its time line. I explain both ways of talking about stress below.
Types of Stress: Good and Bad
In psychological perspective, there is "good" stress and "bad" stress.
Good stress: Eustress
Eustress (pronounced YOU-stress) can be fun, exciting and energizing, especially in the short-
term. Face a sudden danger and resolve the situation safely, and you'll get pumpted and excited;
like when we are racing to meet an exciting deadline, getting dressed for our wedding, or flying
down a ski slope. It keeps our juices flowing.
Just the right amount of stress is stimulating and healthy. We perform tasks faster and better. Our
muscles strengthen. Heart function improves. Stamina increases. Thinking sharpens. Some
experts say eustress even helps our bodies resist infection!

Bad stress: Distress
Ah! But then there is the bad stress. When we think of types of stress, distress is what we have in
mind. In fact we usually call it "stress," plain and simple.
Here are some examples of situations that create distress.
A truck swerves into your lane.
A lost job reduces your income.
You or a loved one is injured.
When we are under distress, we usually change and can even break inside. It hurts! Here are
symptoms of distress that prove such a change is happening inside .
Emotional distress symptoms.
anger
irritability and frustration
anxiety and panic
fear
Physical distress symptoms.
headache
back pain
neck pain
Intestinal or gut distress symptoms.
heartburn
flatulence
diarrhea or constipation
stomach cramping
acid reflux
nausea

Acute and Chronic
Types of Stress on a Timeline
Distress can come - and end - suddenly, or it can linger. Types of stress - or more properly,
distress - are listed below according to how they come on and how long they last.
Acute distress is the most common of the types of stress. It comes on quickly and is usually
short-lived. It is the most intense stress.
When it's all over - and we are safe - we can stop and take some deep breaths, put a hand over
our racing heart, and say "Phew! THAT was exciting!" Then we move on with a thrilling story to
share.
Acute Episodic Distress refers to a situation where acute stress seems to be a way of life.
Life is constantly filled with one stressful event after another after another. Chaos and crisis
reign along with Murphy's Law.
If you have acute episodic distress you may have a never-ending to-do list, may have trouble
saying no, and may seem to be always in a hurry while seldom being on time. You may come
across as abrupt, insensitive, and irritable with other people at home, at work, at the grocery
store, even in purely social situations.

You may have the worry habit and engage in blaming. You believe the world is a scary, mean,
and dangerous place. And you really suffer because of that belief. Just take a look back at that
list of symptoms above.
Acute episodic stress response can actually become a habit that is difficult that is difficult
to break. A Life and Wellness Coach starts a process to get relief from the pain of that type of
stress. Some sufferers may even need help from a therapist or a medical professional to begin
recovery.
Chronic Distress is the type of stress that arises out of long-lasting events and
circumstances beyond your control. According to Monika Fleshner, a neuroimmunophysiologist
at the University of Boulder, Colo. who has studied stress and the immune system. She says "It’s
only under the circumstances of chronic stress or extreme, severe stress that we suffer negative
effects."
Here are some examples of situations that cause chronic distress.
Living with constant relational conflict.
Feeling trapped in poverty.
Caring for someone with significant illness or disabilities.
Being overwhelmed by a job or feeling trapped in a career that doesn't feel right.
Living with unresolved childhood trauma.
Chronic distress often results in feelings of hopelessness, helplessness, and misery. You feel
there is no way out.
Besides the list of symptoms above, you may suffer from the conditions below related to distress
in your life.
high blood pressure
a weight problem
cancer
ulcers
sexual dysfunction

allergies
suicidal thoughts
stoke anorexia
heart disease
If you suffer from chronic distress, you may need medical and behavioral professionals in
addition to a stress management professional such as a life coach.
Perhaps the hardest part of chronic distress is that people just get used to it. They think that is
the way life is supposed to be. But being used to a situation doesn't make the symptoms any less
dangerous to the person, in fact it becomes even more difficult to be a healthy happy person and
live up to everything that is possible for you when the stress goes underground.
Which type of stress are you dealing with? Would you like help? There are lots of ways to deal
with stress! This page Quick Stress Relief offers some quick and easy tips for how to deal with
with stress in your life.
And dealing with all typs of stress at a deeper level is what we do as life coachs. We help people
figure out how to turn the stress in their life into good type of stress!
One of the best and easiest ways is to journal. You can have access to a free online journal to
help you to begin reversing the damage of stress in your life.

Signs and symptoms of stress overload
The following table lists some of the common warning signs and symptoms of stress. The more
signs and symptoms you notice in yourself, the closer you may be to stress overload.
Keep in mind that the signs and symptoms of stress can also be caused by other psychological
and medical problems. If you’re experiencing any of the warning signs of stress, it’s important to
see a doctor for a full evaluation. Your doctor can help you determine whether or not your
symptoms are stress-related.
