Market Overview

Medical devices that are neonatal & prenatal provide hospitals, clinics, and homes with advanced ways to provide care for infants and unborn children. Devices like incubators, phototherapy devices, fetal monitors, ultrasound devices and ventilators allow for monitoring of growth of fetus during pregnancy, as well as caring for preterm infants or those with severe illness. Further, as the future continues to be bright for neonatal & prenatal medical devices; the introduction of mobile monitoring, Artificial intelligence powered diagnostic devices, and portable medical devices will lead to the continued improvement in the quality and accessibility of care provided.

Furthermore, the advancement of telemedicine, remote monitoring of infants and mothers, and data analytics will also enhance the way caregivers deliver quality care, particularly in rural and underserved communities. The increasing number of preterm births in Japan remains an area of focus on neonatal & prenatal medical devices and their related supports, designed to enhance both the survival rate and long-term developmental outcome of preterm infants. The establishment of specialised neonatal intensive care units (NICU's) equipped with new technologies and innovations will be significant contributors to growing the market in the future. Customized plans for treatment and diagnostics for this population are also increasing the scope of the market.
