![]() ‘Application diversity’ measures the number of different applications identified for each relevant patent and broadly splits companies into either ‘niche’ or ‘diversified’ innovators. Key players in doppler ultrasound imaging – a disruptive innovation in the healthcare industry According to GlobalData, there are 30+ companies, spanning technology vendors, established healthcare companies, and up-and-coming start-ups engaged in the development and application of doppler ultrasound imaging. GlobalData’s analysis also uncovers the companies at the forefront of each innovation area and assesses the potential reach and impact of their patenting activity across different applications and geographies. A typical ultrasound, which uses sound waves to create pictures, cannot detect blood flow. Innovation S-curve for the healthcare industryĭoppler ultrasound imaging is a key innovation area in healthcareĭoppler ultrasonography is a non-invasive method for determining blood flow via arteries by reflecting high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) released by circulating red blood cells. Among maturing innovation areas are doppler ultrasound imaging and CT-guided surgery, which are now well established in the industry. Biological sampling devices, endoscopic ultrasound tomography, and NMR imaging systems are some of the accelerating innovation areas, where adoption has been steadily increasing. Within the emerging innovation stage, specimen collection devices, ultrasound imaging system, and automated laboratory systems are disruptive technologies that are in the early stages of application and should be tracked closely. Identifying where a particular innovation is on this journey, especially those that are in the emerging and accelerating stages, is essential for understanding their current level of adoption and the likely future trajectory and impact they will have.Ģ00+ innovations will shape the healthcare industryĪccording to GlobalData’s Technology Foresights, which plots the S-curve for the healthcare industry using innovation intensity models built on over 443,000 patents, there are 200+ innovation areas that will shape the future of the industry.
