"Designing Growth Strategies is in our DNA"
Smart pills are referred to as a small digital devices that are shaped and designed in the form of capsules and perform highly advanced function such as sensing, imaging and drug delivery. These capsules can include biosensor, image, pH or chemical sensor and if swallowed, they travel along the gastrointestinal tract to capture images that are otherwise difficult to obtain. Smart pills also are equipped with a small wearable sensor patch, connected to an app on mobile device and a provider portal. These non-invasive devices have revolutionized the diagnosis of cancer, gastrointestinal disorders and can replace the conventional diagnostic techniques such as endoscopy.
Globally, increasing incidence of chronic diseases like colorectal, breast cancer, along with increase in prevalence of lifestyle-related disorders like gastrointestinal reflux diseases (GERD), gastric ulcers and others are some of the major factors anticipated to fuel the demand for advanced treatment options. Also, rising shift of patient preference towards minimally invasive procedures for treatment is expected to drive the growth of smart pills market during the forecast period. Certain benefits offered by smart pills like advanced capsule endoscopy, targeted drug delivery and easy remote patient monitoring are factors resulting in increasing adoption of smart pills in treatment of patients with gastrointestinal diseases or cancer. Moreover, market players are increasing their investment in R&D in order to introduce small pills that can be used in diagnosis and treatment of new disease condition. For instance, In November 2017, the U.S FDA approved Abilify MyCite, a aripiprazole tablets with an ingestible sensor from Otsuka Pharmaceuticals and Proteus Digital Health, in treatment of schizophrenia and other bipolar disorders.
However, high cost associated with smart pills along with inadequate reimbursement policies in emerging countries to offer full coverage to patients can restrict the growth of the smart pills market during 2020-2027 period. Also, technological incompetence of smart pills in some conditions and stringent government regulations regarding its usage are hampering the adoption of smart pills during the forecast period.
