Middle East & Africa Nurse Call Systems Market Outlook

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in nurse call systems enhances their functionality and effectiveness by making them more responsive and predictive through patient care. AI-powered nurse call systems offer predictive analytics and proactive care. AI algorithms analyze data from nurse call systems and other patient monitoring devices to predict potential health issues before they become critical, thereby allowing timely intervention. Further, AI capabilities initiate alerts based on urgency and patient needs, reducing alarm fatigue for nurses. Thus, they can prioritize a call from a patient experiencing severe pain or a critical drop in vital signs over less urgent requests. These advanced systems incorporate natural language processing (NLP) technologies that allow patients to communicate their needs verbally. This feature is particularly beneficial for patients who may have difficulty using traditional nurse call systems or those who prefer a voice-activated system. Thus, the AI integration in nurse call systems is transforming the way healthcare providers respond to patient needs, improving the quality of care and optimizing the use of resources.

Some other advancements in nurse call systems enable streamlined, customized communications among patients, clinicians, and caregivers, in turn enhancing patient satisfaction and improving the quality of care. A prominent use of mobile handsets is improving the effectiveness of call systems by incorporating real-time communications and data capture features to monitor both staff and patient activity. IP-based healthcare communication solutions, which leverage session initiation protocol (SIP) and voice-over-internet protocol (VoIP) that utilize smartphones allow instant communications among nurses. On a wireless device, a caregiver can schedule alerts, communicate with other staff, or direct a call to another staff member if they are not in a position to address it right away, which allows for quicker response time that makes the patient feel heard and attended at ease. In addition, advantages such as personal touch, wireless communication, wander tracking, direct connection, and specified alerts are adding to the popularity of nurse call systems in hospitals, clinics, assisted living centers, and other care facilities. Thus, the incorporation of AI, machine learning, and wireless technologies, etc., are emerging as significant future trends in the nurse call systems market.

Middle East & Africa Nurse Call Systems Market Country Insights

Based on country, the Middle East & Africa nurse call systems market comprises Saudi Arabia, the UAE, South Africa, and the Rest of Middle East & Africa. Saudi Arabia held the largest share in 2023.

According to the United Nations Population Fund, in 2022, 4% of the population in Saudi Arabia were 65 and above. According to the Saudi Ministry of Health, the population pyramid of Saudi Arabia is undergoing a change, as the 50–64 age group is expanding rapidly. This group is expected to transition into the over-65 category, which is typically considered old age. Dementia is becoming a significant public health issue in Saudi Arabia, as in the rest of the world, due to an aging population and lifestyle changes. While there is a lack of population-based epidemiological studies, the statistics in Saudi Arabia are expected to follow global trends. The overall prevalence of dementia in Saudi Arabia is estimated to be 5%, with the frequency steadily increasing beyond the age of 65. The aging population in Saudi Arabia is expected to increase the demand for nurse call systems as they are more susceptible to developing age-related diseases such as dementia and Alzheimer's. The market is experiencing growth due to the increasing number of local companies and their developmental activities. For instance, Aldawleiah offers nurse call systems that enable patients and nursing staff to communicate, ensuring the smooth running of hospitals and care facilities. These systems also allow staff to assess priorities quickly and reassure patients and their families. Thus, the nurse call systems market in the country is likely to grow at a healthy growth rate during the forecast period.
