The geriatric population is highly vulnerable to gastrointestinal disorders. Various smart pills are now being analyzed for potential application in therapeutics and diagnosing several acute and chronic diseases. Patients with chronic diseases who follow a specified dose of medication at the target site are anticipated to form a large customer base for advanced drug delivery products. The increasing demand for minimally invasive surgical procedures has led to innovative techniques such as capsule endoscopy. Capsule endoscopy is expected to replace traditional endoscopy methods due to its advantages, including ease of administration and detailed observation of the gastrointestinal tract. The capsule endoscopy plays a vital role in the early diagnosis and proper treatment of these disorders, along with hybrid imaging technologies and new component innovations. For instance, as per the University of Texas Health Science Center, the deployment of various colorectal cancer screening procedures, such as capsule endoscopy, improves adherence to screening. The university conducted a study comprising randomly assigned patients aged 50 to 75 and inferred that capsule endoscopy gives better diagnostic results than CT colonography. Such findings are estimated to boost the segment growth over the forecast period. Patients with a maximal requirement for home healthcare services face challenges concerning access and use of smart pills. This has resulted in developers and producers increasing the accessibility and usability of these devices, thereby facilitating the interpretation of data more simply. Most industries offer compatible software for collecting data over a longer duration, conveying valuable information about patient health, and providing suggestions for enhancing their quality of life. Being connected to smartphones through Bluetooth and providing data in user-friendly & statistical format is boosting the demand for smart pills.
With the new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the smart pills market. The North America smart pills market is expected to grow at a good CAGR during the forecast period.
