Lucintel, a leading global management consulting and market research firm, has analyzed the Global Home Healthcare Device industry and presents its findings in “Global Home Healthcare Device Industry 2012-2017: Trend, Profit, and Forecast Analysis.”

The Home Healthcare Device industry consists of home-based treatment such as glucose monitors, blood pressure monitors, diabetes control devices, wheelchairs, walking aids, home dialysis equipment, test strips, heart rate meters, sleep monitoring devices, and such other home healthcare devices.
