Demand Flat for In-Home Health Monitoring

The U.S.'s senior and baby boomer populations are not currently receptive to in-home health monitoring, according to a Parks Associates study, which reports that two-thirds from both populations see little to no value in these services.

Of the one-fifth who find the service valuable, 60 percent would still not spend extra money, either out-of-pocket or in higher healthcare premiums, for in-home health monitoring. Only 20 percent would accept a moderate increase in health insurance premiums, and another 16-20 percent would be willing to pay out-of-pocket for it.

According to Parks Associates, in-home health monitoring is a service that allows patients to use network-connected measurement devices, such as glucose meters, weight scales, and peak flow meters, to collect vital signs at home and send electronic data to clinicians for ongoing chronic condition monitoring.

AI-Driven Data Center Liquid Cooling Demand

The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) and hyperscale cloud computing is fundamentally reshaping data center infrastructure, and liquid cooling is emerging as an indispensable solution. As traditional air-cooled systems reach their physical limits, the IT industry is under pressure to adopt more efficient thermal management strategies to meet growing demands, while complying with stringent environmental regulations. Liquid Cooling Market Development The latest ABI Research analysis reveals momentum in liquid cooling adoption. Installations are forecast to quadruple between 2023 and 2030. The market will reach $3.7 billion in value by the decade's end, with a CAGR of 22 percent. The urgency behind these numbers becomes clear when examining energy metrics: liquid cooling systems demonstrate 40 percent greater energy efficiency when compared to conventional air-cooling architectures, while simultaneously enabling ~300-500 percent increases in computational density per rac...
