The surge in patent filings is a key driver of innovation and technological advancement. With a robust focus on research and development, patents are steadily increasing across diverse sectors such as device, healthcare, and manufacturing. This rise in patent activity creates a competitive landscape, compelling companies to devise groundbreaking solutions and broaden their product offerings.
According to the latest report published by World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), the U.S. filed the 2nd largest number of patent applications for assistive device from 1998 to 2019, totaling 25,897 filings. Specifically, they submitted 16,575 applications in mobility, 7,126 in hearing, 2,260 in vision, 735 in self-care, and 252 in cognition. The robust intellectual property system in the U.S. not only safeguards inventions but also drives economic growth by attracting investments and facilitating the commercialization of new devices.
However, the market for assistive devices for the disabled and elderly faces significant regulatory challenges that restrain growth and innovation. Regulatory bodies such as the Food and Drug Administration (USFDA), and other national agencies impose stringent approval processes, requiring assistive products, especially medical devices, to undergo extensive testing and certification before entering the market.
On the contrary, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into disabled & elderly assistive device represents a transformative leap towards a future where these devices are not only more advanced but also more personalized and accessible than ever before. AI enables assistive devices to evolve beyond static solutions, becoming dynamic and adaptable to the specific needs of each user. Through machine learning algorithms, these devices learn from user interactions, continuously improving their functionality and responsiveness.
