Market Trends Minimally invasive procedures In the United States over 60% of elective procedures are performed as outpatient surgeries Earlier diagnosis There is increasing pressure on the UK’s NHS purchasers to shift processes from a “late disease‟ treatment model to a more

preventive system. Point-of-care diagnosis systems Transferring diagnosis to the GP’s surgery not only aids earlier diagnosis but also minimises healthcare referrals and creates cost savings. Move services from healthcare to retail The retail sector is already involved in the provision of hearing aids and also provides a range of diagnostic tests. Increased home & community care This can reduce healthcare costs and enhance quality of life benefits to the patient.
