Increasing Adoption Of The Electroceuticals For The Treatment Of Various Chronic Disease To Bring Profitable Opportunities For The Bioelectric Medicine Market
Bioelectric medicine is now coming to its mature stage as a successful stand-alone treatment for a growing number of medical conditions. It is used as a complementary therapy to improve the function of many organ systems, particularly the cardiovascular and immune systems. Specific applications include cardiopulmonary rehabilitation, respiratory management, and pediatric and adult neurological conditions such as stroke, sclerosis, and epilepsy.
The
increasing use of electroceuticals for the treatment of various cardiac and
neurological diseases such as Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), dystonia,
essential tremor, and epilepsy is driving the growth of the bioelectricmedicine market. The rise in the geriatric population is again increasing the
prevalence of chronic disease which is also fueling the growth of the market. According
to the United Nation, by 2050, one in six people in the world will be over age
65 (16%), up from one in 11 in 2019 (9%). By 2050, one in four persons living
in Europe and Northern America could be aged 65 or over. Growing investment in
the research and development activities for developing advanced
electroceuticals is further anticipated to foster the growth of the bioelectric
medicine market over the forecast period.
North
America is projected to gain significant growth over the forecast period and
this is attributed to the high prevalence of the cardiovascular disease in the
region. According to the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and
Health Promotion, Heart disease is the leading cause of death for men, women,
and people of most racial and ethnic groups in the United States. About 655,000
Americans die from heart disease each year—that’s 1 in every 4 deaths.
Key Developments:
1. In May 2019, Cala Health raised
$50M ahead of the commercial launch of its bioelectric stimulation device. Cala
Health is part of a new breed of companies developing therapeutics that target
the body’s electric circuitry instead.
2. In February 2020, KidneyCell LTP
announced the launch of a clinical trial in Brazil utilizing bioelectric
signaling controlled protein release to attempt to reverse kidney failure. The
bioelectric stimulation signals will be applied non-invasively only in this
study.
3. In October 2020, Leonhardt's
Launchpads Announces Receipt of Notice of Allowance of U.S. Patent for
Bioelectric Stimulator for Organ Regeneration and Healing
4. In February 2017, GE Ventures
announced a strategic partnership with Northwell Health’s Feinstein Institute
for Medical Research providing up to $200 million in joint funding to support
the opening of a new Center for Bioelectronic Medicine (CBEM)
