Report Scope and Market Segmentation

Market Definition

Medical simulation, or more broadly, healthcare simulation, is a subset of simulation that is used in medical education and training in a variety of industries. Simulations can take place in a classroom, in a situational environment, or in a venue dedicated to simulation exercise. It can include artificial, human, or a combination of artificial and human patients, educational documents with full simulated animations, casualty assessment in homeland security and war circumstances, emergency response, and support virtual health services with holographic simulation.

Health/Medical Simulation Software Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Limited access to patients during medical training

Medical simulators have established a valuable place in medical education around the world because they mimic human traits. Because of the limited access to patients and the need to maintain patient safety throughout training, simulation is increasingly being used in professional training programmes and traditional learning. Students can use the simulation to hone their clinical and critical thinking abilities in preparation for high-risk situations. When compared to pre-education or simulation alone, pre-education with simulation considerably improves student knowledge, confidence in performance, ability in nursing practise, and satisfaction with learning techniques. Military branches all across the world are changing their training and education models. As a result, in medicine, simulation has a lot of potential for improving the training of interdisciplinary medical teams.

• Improve the skilled training of healthcare workers

Government and non-government measures to improve the skilled training of healthcare workers contribute to the market's growth. The Bob Waters Memorial Scholarship Fund, for example, was established by the Advanced Initiative in Medical Simulation (AIMS) Board and SSH to help students in healthcare simulation every year by offering incentive and grants. In contrast, market players are expected to benefit from technical improvements in the medical area, research in the industry, and an increase in the number of market participants with creative solutions.

Opportunities

• Shortage of healthcare personnel

The primary cause of the rising number of preventable fatalities around the world is a scarcity of competent healthcare providers. According to an article published by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) in June 2021, the fast expanding demand for physicians in the United States would outpace supply, resulting in a 37,80-124,000 physician shortage by 2034. Furthermore, the worldwide healthcare business is experiencing a significant lack of healthcare staff as a result of the ongoing COVID pandemic. Physicians and nurses are frontline workers, but they are more vulnerable to COIVD-19 infection. Many nursing schools across the world are utilising technology in novel ways to improve teaching and learning. As a result, end users are increasingly adopting medical simulation solutions, providing lucrative growth prospects for suppliers in the healthcare/medical simulation market.

Restraints/Challenges

• Limited availability of funds

Due to the high expense of high-fidelity simulators and virtual environments, the construction of simulated learning environments and simulation programmes necessitates large capital inputs. Medical simulation training facilities rely on government and private financing in the majority of cases. Rapid advances in medical technology, decreased reimbursement for clinical services, rising healthcare professional wages, and reductions in federal GME payments have all contributed to a decrease in funding from government and private institutes in recent years.

Covid-19 impact on Health/Medical Simulation Software Market

The hospitals became extremely overburdened as the COVID-19 illness spread. Because the essential personnel and financial resources were redirected to the care of COVID-19 patients, healthcare facilities shifted their attention away from on-site training and learning. Lockdowns implemented by numerous countries throughout the world impacted the supply chains of businesses selling medical simulation equipment and services. However, the necessity to provide the best treatment to COVID-19 patients while also maintaining high safety standards for healthcare workers became a top priority, resulting in a surge in demand for virtual trainings and medical simulation solutions tailored to COVID-19 patients.

Recent Development

• In August 2021, RespiPro, IngMar Medical's next-generation respiratory and ventilation training solution, has been released.
• In July 2021, The Skull Holder System was launched by SYNBONE AG for use in trauma, neurosurgery education, and orthognathic surgery.
• In May 2021, CAE Vimedix 3.2, a high-fidelity ultrasound simulator with increased 3D and 4D scanning capabilities, has been released by CAE Inc.
