Point-Of-Care Ultrasound Systems Projected to Grow Exponentially

 An experienced general physician in Brooklyn, New York, Jason Jaramillo, MD, operates a private practice tied to the top-ranked Maimonides Medical Center in Borough Park. He earned his MD from the University of New Mexico School of Medicine after graduating with a BS in chemistry and BA in Spanish from Hillsdale College in Michigan. Staying current with new diagnostic technologies, Dr. Jason Jaramillo counts point-of-care ultrasound among his areas of clinical interest.

Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is part of a bigger point-of-care (POC) movement that has permeated all corners of the healthcare industry. Like all POC fields, POCUS strives to place as many medical and administrative activities as possible at the specific site of patient care, generally providing bedside diagnostics using handheld ultrasound devices.

According to an independent economic research report by Data Bridge Market Research, the POCUS market will likely undergo an exponential growth rate of 6.54 percent through 2028. The report specifically points to a global increase in emergency room patient admissions and a deepening need to boost functional efficiency as major factors in this growth. To address these issues, organizations are increasingly embracing POCUS as a way to streamline healthcare processes while reducing operational spending.
