The global
remote and predictive medical equipment maintenance market is projected to
witness a healthy and a double-digit growth, driven by many advantages offered
by it over preventive or reactive maintenance, growing digitalization, and the
urge to improve operational efficiency and extend equipment life.
The remote and predictive maintenance of medical devices is
becoming prominent due to the growing digitalization and move toward connected
devices and cloud-based infrastructure. The medical device industry is now
increasingly embracing the use of advanced technologies like The Internet of
Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and data analytics to resolve
problems faster and effectively. The remote & predictive maintenance market
was growing but Covid-19 gave it a much-desired push. However, perceived
complexity and data security concerns may pose a challenge to high growth.

Move from Preventive/Reactive Maintenance to Predictive
Maintenance
Preventive maintenance is typically scheduled on a recurring
basis but could be sometimes unplanned. It is based on the theoretical failure
rate and not on actual machine data. Moreover, reactive maintenance is
time-consuming and breaks the operations workflow leading to costly downtimes.
On the other hand, predictive maintenance is maintenance performed only when
needed based on analytics on historical data to forecast suggested times for
pro-active inspection or maintenance.
For real-time monitoring, IoT enables the continuous
transmission of data from device sensors to the maintenance team who will
remotely monitor the equipment. With the help of data analytics, the
maintenance team identifies any unusual activity that may cause device failure
and predict the equipment downtime. This Just-in-time maintenance strategy
ultimately improves overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) levels. Thus, the
medical device industry is rapidly shifting towards more proactive and
predictive maintenance to reduce equipment downtime and maintenance costs,
enhance asset utilization, extend equipment life, and improve operational
efficiency, safety, and compliance.
The Emergence of Cloud-based Solutions
Modern healthcare systems support digital transformation
goals. Healthcare organizations are moving more toward cloud-based platforms,
to better automate processes. Some of the other driving factors include
scalability, accessibility, cost-effectiveness, and security offered by
cloud-based solutions more than ever before. Looking at the growth
opportunities, companies are increasingly offering cloud-based solutions to
remotely manage a fleet of IoT devices from anywhere in the world in an
instant.
Positive Impact of Covid-19 on the Uptake of Remote
Maintenance
Healthcare is one of the top industries that simply cannot
afford extended downtime as it may cost a life. Preventing equipment outages at
a distance is extremely important, as it enables the resolution of problems
earlier and reduces both cost and downtime. However, this became more crucial
post-pandemic.
Shortage of employees and technicians, high demand for
medical equipment/devices, and global supply chain disruption during the
COVID-19 pandemic forced companies to think about remote solutions to minimize
downtime and increase the equipment output for smoother care delivery. This
resulted in a surge in demand for remote and predictive maintenance solutions
across the globe.
Healthcare organizations started using smart sensors,
advanced artificial intelligence systems, and IoT solutions to track the
condition and efficiency of vital equipment to avoid downtimes in such critical
times.
North America Leads the Adoption of Remote And Predictive
Medical Equipment Maintenance Market
From a geographical perspective, North America has a major
market share of the global remote and predictive medical equipment maintenance
market. This is mainly attributed to the significant presence of medical
equipment OEMs and related software companies in this region, advanced
healthcare infrastructure, strict compliance, and a greater focus on minimizing
costs to improve overall profitability.
