11th April 2019: Ophthalmology PACS can be referred to a system that can be used by medical professionals to get essential information related to patients with eye disorders. Such information can help these professionals with effective diagnosis and treatment of patients. Picture archiving and communication system (PACS) can be defined as system that can store, capture, and display medical images. These images can be transmitted digitally from one computer to another for convenience of healthcare professionals.
Artificial Intelligence to Offer Improved Healthcare Solutions
Major product variants of ophthalmology PACS are integrated and standalone. Integrated segment is expected to hold significant market share during the forecast period. These systems can integrate clinical applications including functional integration, data integration, context integration, and presentation integration. Thereby, system can be used diagnostic devices to provide physicians with an ability to review diagnosis outcomes and patient reports from anywhere and anytime. Product developments and technological advancements are likely to propel segment’s growth in coming years. For instance, IBM and Anthem recently signed an agreement to work together and drive Anthem’s digital transformation. This transformation is likely to improve digital experience for consumers in coming years. Companies are expected to use artificial intelligence (AI) to provide improved healthcare solutions for consumers. In another instance, IBM Watson Health is expected to offer Merge Eye Care PACS system. This system can automatically import and integrate reports and images from multiple modalities into single review. In addition it can accommodate multiple user workflows to support quick diagnosis and improved healthcare.
Market Insights
The global ophthalmology PACS market is anticipated to reach USD 170.96 million by 2025, according to a report by Grand View Research, Inc. Growing prevalence of eye diseases including macular degeneration, cataract, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma can augment market growth. Increasing use of teleophthalmology solutions owing to lack of optometrists and ophthalmologists can impel growth of market in coming years. Growing adoption of electronic medical records (EMR) and electronic health records (EHR) systems to get complete and accurate information regarding patients can stimulate market growth. Such information can help healthcare providers by reducing medical errors and improving medical diagnostic procedures. Hence, supportive government initiatives to promote use of HER and EMR can drive the market during the forecast period (2014 to 2025).
Some of the leading companies operating in the market for ophthalmology PACS market are Carl Zeiss Meditec AG; Topcon Corp., Heidelberg Engineering GmbH, Visbion Ltd., and Sonomed Escalon.
