San Jose, California (PRWEB) November 08, 2011

Follow us on LinkedIn – Global market for Fluoroscopy and Mobile C-Arms is largely saturated with majority of growth likely to come from developing markets of Asia-Pacific and Rest of World. The market is also characterized by sedate growth patterns due to due to emerging alternatives in radiography. Majority of growth in the market is expected to come from the Mobile C-Arms market alone, as more and more medical procedures make use of Mobile C-Arms. Modern fluoroscopy equipment, techniques pose lesser risk to patient in terms of radiation exposure than in comparison with conventional fluoroscopic methods. For instance, advances in digitization of the images have reduced the time taken for the procedure thus reducing the level of radiation dose absorbed by the patient. Interventional fluoroscopy procedures carry a higher risk profile, but the benefits of a properly performed procedure outweigh the radiation risk.

Although the recent economic recession, characterized by severe capital shortages, lack of easy credit availability, decline in reimbursements of medical imaging, cutbacks in healthcare expenditure, and decline in capital expenditures squeezed new orders for Fluoroscopy and Mobile C-Arms, the market nevertheless staged a swift comeback in the year 2010, guided by the fact that these imaging modalities continue to remain cost effective when compared to MRI and CT systems. Steady rise in equipment utilization rates as a result of demographic pressures also helped prevent deep and prolonged capital budgets cuts in hospitals. Also, hospitals cannot afford to postpone for long the resolution of issues related to workflow, scheduling, throughput, and equipment utilization.

Another factor that helped prevent major scaling back of investments in fluoroscopic imaging is the fact that C-arm fluoroscopes are indispensable tools for intraoperative 2D imaging as they aid in accurate anatomic localization of implant placement thus explaining its widespread use in almost every medical discipline. Digital fluoroscopy has and will continue to remain a central imaging modality in both inpatient and outpatient care. The post recession period will witness the intersection of two vectors that will aid in future growth need for additional capacity and obsolescence. While obsolescence triggers the need for replacements, rising need for increased patient throughput exerts pressure on existing capacity thus providing a business case for new equipment purchases in a non-replacement scenario.

As stated by the new research report on Fluoroscopy and Mobile C Arms, the US represents the largest regional market worldwide. Asia-Pacific will be the fastest growing regional market with sales from the region waxing at a CAGR of about 3.4% over the analysis period. Growing need for quality healthcare and government support for equipment purchases will drive demand in the Asia-Pacific Market. Fluoroscopy represents the largest product segment. Growth in the market will also be driven by emerging applications, such as imaging the bodys torso and head i.e. brain, heart, abdomen, and thoracic cavity (or chest cavity), among others.

Rising number of obese patients has also enhanced the significance of fluoroscopy, particularly in generating images of bariatric patients, thereby driving its demand further. Mobile C-Arms market represents the fastest growing segment, waxing at a CAGR of about 2.64% over the analysis period. Demand for Mobile C-Arms in the short to medium term period will be primarily driven by growth in minimally invasive procedures, which require surgeons use appropriate imaging equipment such as Mobile C-Arms to obtain real time images of internal body parts, and guide them during the interventions.

Major players in the marketplace include GE Healthcare, F&M Control, SL, Hologic, Inc., Imaging3, Inc., OrthoScan, Inc, Philips Healthcare, Shimadzu Medical Systems, Siemens Medical Solutions, Toshiba Medical Systems Corp., Xograph Healthcare Ltd, Ziehm Imaging GmbH, among others.

The research report titled Fluoroscopy and Mobile C-Arms: A Global Strategic Business Report announced by Global Industry Analysts, Inc., provides a comprehensive review of market trends, issues, drivers, company profiles, mergers, acquisitions and other strategic industry activities. The report provides market estimates and projections (in Units and US$ Thousands) for major geographic markets including the United States, Canada, Japan, Europe (France, Germany, Italy, UK, Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific, and Rest of World.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) October 12, 2011

pMDsoft’s native mobile charge capture application is now available in beta on Google’s Android platform.

The software company, which creates software for doctors to capture billing charges, manage patient information and communicate with each other, has designed their Android app to be even easier to use than other platforms.

The iPhone and BlackBerry have strict design requirements, pMDsoft CEO Philippe d’Offay said. If you compare the same app on an iPhone and BlackBerry, each will have some advantages and disadvantages just based on the specifications for each operating system. But because Android gives you so much freedom in development, we have been able to combine the best of both worlds on a single platform.

As pMDsoft prepared the beta version of their app, d’Offay required all pMDsoft employees to use Android devices. Only about 20 percent of our team was using Android before we began development, but even our die-hard iPhone lovers have been impressed. Android has filled the niche between the iPhone and BlackBerry and given people choice and customized control.

Physicians using pMDsoft began requesting the app on Android last year, but the company would not commit to development until they could ensure an exceptional and consistent user experience with their app on the platform.

The devices coming out on Android now are incredible, d’Offay said. They’ve evolved past early adoption to being mainstream. And they can finally support powerful apps like pMDsoft. Our app is extremely sophisticated, but we’ve made it as easy to use as an address book.

pMDsoft user Dr. Jared Selter, a physician with Cardiology Associates at Fairfield County, is an Android advocate and has been following the companys development. pMDsoft has become an invaluable tool for maximizing practice and billing efficiency in the hospital by connecting hospital providers directly with office administrative staff, he said. I cannot imagine practicing without it.

By expanding to Android, pMDsoft is now available on the most open operating system with the widest range of devices to suit all needs, Dr. Selter continued. Android also provides universal carrier coverage so providers can opt for the best network in their area and not one based on device availability.”

The beta version of pMDsoft is currently available on selected Motorola, Samsung and HTC devices on all major cell phone carriers. Development updates will be posted on pMDsoft’s Web site as the Android app moves out of the beta stage and becomes available on additional Android devices.

pMDsoft’s mobile charge capture software supports physicians by allowing them to enter their patient charges into Android, iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch and BlackBerry devices at the point of patient care. The patient visit is then visible to other doctors within the practice and can be billed immediately. Doctors using charge capture are increasing their ROI in a time where Medicare cuts and other costs are significantly impacting profitability. pMDsoft increases efficiencies in a practice through automation, and it provides free interfaces with almost every major electronic medical record and medical billing system, including Allscripts, athenaCollector by athenahealth (Athena), GE Centricity (formerly Millbrook and IDX), Cerner, NextGen and Sage Intergy.

Follow us on LinkedIn – Entertainment services over mobile devices potentially generate several billions of dollars for service providers, worldwide. Despite the fact that ringback tones and ringtones continue to be substantial revenue generators for mobile service providers, other services such as gaming, full-track music, video and TV services are emerging as lucrative market segments. Buoyed by the huge demand for data communications from mobile users in both business and consumer markets, content providers, right from independent content developers to large-scale movie studios are beginning to develop applications, music, games movies and videos especially for mobile devices. Not surprisingly the use of mobile devices is extending beyond the traditional communication functions to embrace novel concepts such as mobile videos, and games. Mobile video segment especially is gaining tremendous popularity over the last few years. Despite being a small market, mobile video services continues to grow, with video-on-demand, video telephony and video messaging capturing a significant share of the markets revenue. With Internet providing a large number of video services, and service providers increasingly willing to offer these services on mobile devices, video is rapidly making inroads into the mobile arena across the geographies.

The impact of the 2007-2009 recession, in retrospect, reveals a market that has withstood the recessionary pressures largely as a result of the continued growth in sales of mobile video capable smartphones and increase in the number of phones supporting 3G and other faster networks based on High Speed Packet Access (HSPA). Consumer interest on downloading and streaming mobile video and mobile TV content remained largely unchanged during the recession period, proving that quality entertainment was left uncompromised even amidst tight economic conditions.

Consumer spending on choicest of mobile videos largely remained intact despite the witnessed reduction in household wealth, low consumer confidence, reduced discretionary spending, and lower new application development efforts. In other words, served right on to consumer handsets, mobile video services allow users to cut down traveling expenses and provide an alternative to other expensive entertainment options, such as, public movie screenings and live sports action and therefore are best for entertainment in a weak economy. Continued interest shown by wireless carriers on data centric services, particularly for utilizing their networks optimally and improving their ARPU by offering value added content to cost conscious customers, also boosted prospects for mobile video services market during the period, as the same resulted in increased promotional activity and more attractive pricing options for mobile TV and video services. With mobile users graduating towards a richer, and more sophisticated mobile experience, the market for video delivery has and will continue to remain opportunity-rich, and dynamic.

Growth in the market, although stabilizing, will nevertheless be driven by introduction of novel video services, particularly the highly popular content on YouTube and growing adoption of live TV services such as live news, weather forecasts and music programs. Improvements in quality of content, content protection and delivery frameworks are expected to boost market prospects for mobile video services over the next few years. Increased use of mobile videos by companies as a platform to advertise their products and services augur well for the market. Widespread availability of sophisticated mobile devices supporting mobile video downloads and streaming and ongoing deployment of advanced mobile networks will also boost the adoption and consumer spending on various mobile video services.

Introduction of economical and flexible data plans by service providers will attract many new users to the market, thereby increasing revenue making opportunities. Widespread deployment and availability of 3G mobile network infrastructures across the world will continue to drive adoption of video services over mobile. With mobile network operators making active efforts to move towards 4G technology, which promise faster connectivity, higher bandwidth and superior capabilities and enable the service providers to offer a range of video services to mobile users, the popularity of mobile video services is expected to increase further.

As stated by the new market research report on Mobile Video Services, Asia-Pacific represents the largest regional market worldwide.
