COVID-19 has put an instant halt to many industries across the globe. Lockdown norms in several countries have swiftly affected the global economy by affecting the supply chain, production, and demand in the market. Both direct, as well as indirect impacts of the pandemic, have been incorporated in this report.

What is a patient simulator?

A patient simulator is a kind of manikin-type simulator that can be used to teach students and train healthcare professionals by simulating human anatomy or function (physiology). Patient simulators are most commonly employed at simulation centers and come in a variety of models, ranging from preterm infants to geriatric patients. Obstetric birthing simulators are also available. The advantages of using healthcare simulation to improve medical education have been thoroughly recognized by healthcare institutions. Practice and experience are required for clinical expertise. Clinical simulation allows healthcare practitioners of all levels and disciplines to practice and enhance their clinical abilities without endangering patients. Academic institutions, academic medical institutes, government research organizations, hospitals and clinics, and military training centers are among the most common users of patient simulators.

The degree to which the manikins can reproduce certain human physiological activities is determined by the level of faithfulness. Low fidelity patient simulators, also known as task trainers, are simple models that are used for repetitive task training such as inserting urinary catheters or beginning IVs. Learners can practice suturing and changing dressings on simple silicon wound models.

Similarly, the manikins for basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation are widely used to teach professionals and the general public how to conduct chest compressions and rescue breathing (CPR training). Manikins with a medium level of realism are more complicated. Many of them have electrical components that simulate basic physiological functions including cardiac and breathing activities. These manikins can be used in simple simulations where the learner has to practice assessing vital signs or in simple circumstances where advanced physiological function interpretation is not necessary. They're often employed in basic nursing education. When a manikin's functions closely mirror human physiology, it is said to be a high-fidelity patient simulator. To name a few features, high-fidelity manikins have rising and falling chests, changing respiration rates, audible chest noises, palpable pulses, audible cardiac sounds, normal and pathological cardiac rhythms including asystole, and bowel sounds. They have the ability to cry, constrict their pupils, shake as if having a seizure, and talk.

End-Use Trends

The market is segmented as academic & research institute, hospitals, and ambulances. Academics and research institute segment is expected to be the dominant segment of the market, it held a revenue share of more than 70% in 2020 and is predicted to lead the market growth in the foreseen future. This is primarily due to the increased use of simulators in the training programs at academic institutes. The segment is subjected to growth at an impressive CAGR of 11.4%, during 2021-2026.

Market Dynamics

The patient simulator market is driven by a host of factors, some of which are noted below:

Increasing demand for minimally invasive surgeries: With the growing popularity of minimally invasive surgical procedures, there is a rising need for healthcare professionals to gain hands-on experience in a safe and controlled environment. Patient simulators enable healthcare providers to practice and refine their surgical skills without putting real patients at risk.

Advancements in technology: The patient simulator market is being driven by rapid advances in technology, such as the incorporation of virtual reality and augmented reality into simulation training. This technology provides a more immersive and realistic simulation experience is essential for improving training outcomes.

Growing adoption of patient simulators in medical schools and training programs: The use of patient simulators is becoming increasingly common in medical schools and training programs worldwide. This is due to the need for healthcare professionals to be adequately prepared to handle real-life situations, and patient simulators provide an effective and safe way to do so.

Increasing emphasis on patient safety: Patient safety is a critical issue in healthcare, and patient simulators can help improve patient safety by enabling healthcare providers to practice critical skills and procedures in a safe and controlled environment. This emphasis on patient safety is driving the demand for patient simulators in the healthcare industry.

Rise in chronic diseases: With the rise in chronic diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases, there is an increasing need for healthcare professionals to be adequately trained in managing these conditions. Patient simulators can help provide this training, allowing healthcare providers to practice managing chronic diseases in a safe and controlled environment.
