Growth Factors in the Intraoperative Neuromonitoring (IONM) Market

  • Rising Demand for Complex Surgeries

The rising number of neurological, spinal, and orthopedic diseases have increased the need for complex surgeries, which has contributed to an increase in intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM). For instance, people suffering from epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, or spinal deformities will need precise surgical interventions where IONM assists in reducing potential nerve damage. For example, surgeons performing spinal fusions would benefit from monitoring neural pathways in real-time through IONM, significantly reducing paralysis from the surgery. With the aging population across the globe, these disorders are becoming more prevalent; thus, hospitals are utilizing IONM in surgery to create safer environments for patient and surgical outcomes, contributing to the growth of the IONM market. An even greater need for precision in high-risk surgeries will result in increased demand for IONM, making the overall need for intraoperative neuromonitoring critical in modern healthcare.

  • Technological Advancements in Monitoring Systems

Ongoing development in IONM technologies is one of the main drivers of growth and increased accuracy and reliability of neural monitoring. Newer systems now provide real-time data analysis, and offer more advanced electrode designs and signal processing features, which will support the surgeon's informed clinical decision making during surgery. For instance, NuVasive has developed an IONM platform that incorporates software to provide real-time data on nerve integrity during spine surgeries. All these improvements help reduce surgical complications, improve the patient's recovery rates and even allow healthcare facilities to opt for newer upgrades in their IONM tools, based on their effectiveness, clinical need and safety. The more we see technology improving, advancing and being utilized in a wide range of surgical specialties, the more significant impact it has in growing the market.

  • Growing Focus on Patient Safety

Patient safety has become a cornerstone of modern surgical practices, significantly boosting the IONM market. Healthcare providers are increasingly prioritizing techniques that minimize postoperative complications, such as nerve damage or sensory loss. IONM offers real-time monitoring of the nervous system, allowing surgeons to adjust their approach during procedures to prevent irreversible harm. A case study from a U.S. neurological center showed that IONM reduced neurological deficits by 50% in high-risk brain surgeries. This emphasis on safer outcomes, coupled with regulatory support for advanced monitoring, drives hospitals to integrate IONM, expanding its market presence globally.

Key Trends in the Intraoperative Neuromonitoring (IONM) Market

  • Integration of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine-learning (ML) technology into intraoperative neuromonitoring systems (IONM) is disrupting the marketplace, particularly in the interpretation of data and decision-making. Because AI can automatically evaluate very complex neural signals faster and more accurately than traditionally possible, AI systems can provide the surgeon the next action(s) along the continuum of care at the exact moment the surgeon needs this information. For example, Medtronic's newest IONM systems use AI-powered analytics to assess the patient's neural signal for potential nerve injury, and inform the surgeon, before the surgical damage occurs, directly augmenting the surgeon's decision-making to optimize outcomes within a surgical procedure (surgical context). Such innovation is only beginning to gain traction throughout the surgical training and practice communities, as the healthcare community progresses toward maximizing the benefits of AI-augmented patient care. The fast-paced advancement of AI and ML technology will likely continue to enhance our understanding of clinical meaning where IONM is integrated, and indeed IONM is on the verge of being disrupted by AI and ML technologies going forward.

  • Rise of Remote Neuromonitoring Services

Remote IONM services are quickly becoming a hot trend as telemedicine continues to cut down barriers and increase secure data exchange. Remote IONM services allow neurophysiologists to monitor surgical procedures in real time from their home or any other remote location. Hospitals with or without on-site neurophysiologists can now offer IONM with real-time remote monitoring. This trend is exemplified by SpecialtyCare's ongoing development of its remote IONM platform. They provide remote IONM services to rural hospitals throughout the U.S., allowing hospital staff to have qualified remote monitoring for complex procedures, with nearly the same quality standard as a traditional IONM service. If this trend continues to be adopted by hospitals and healthcare facilities it will continue to reduce costs related to IONM services by allowing hospitals to utilize remote neurophysiologists. Remote IONM services have the potential to reduce costs associated with the lack of skilled IONM professionals. As digital infrastructure gains ground in developing parts of the world, it is anticipated that the growth of remote IONM services will increase in underdeveloped regions as well.

  • Shift Toward Outsourced Monitoring

The increased momentum in the trend of outsourcing IONM service is gaining traction as hospitals and surgical centers look for ways to provide cost-effective solutions with specialized services. Outsourcing allows surgical teams to concentrate on their roles, while third-party providers offer expert neurophysiologists to provide IONM services. Companies such as Assure Neuromonitoring provide outsourced IONM services to provide quality neuromonitoring for spine and brain surgeries. Outsourcing is an advantage for smaller facilities who do not have the ability to maintain an in-house team of technologists performing IONM services daily for their surgeries. The trend toward outsourcing is fueled by the need for efficiency for operational purposes and to have the latest technology, thereby reshaping the market in terms of the partnerships and joint ventures that have developed between hospitals and specialized IONM providers.
