Dublin, Nov. 7, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/7lgzd7/coagulation)
has announced the addition of the "Coagulation
Self-Testing Devices, Markets, Players and Prospects" report to
their offering.
The ability of patients to self-monitor is deemed to be a critical
tool in reducing the pathological effects of difficult-to-control
disease factors. For the millions of patients in the US and
worldwide prescribed warfarin for oral anticoagulation therapy
(OAT), the ability to monitor coagulation rates and adjust drug
dosage to optimize therapeutic outcomes is a critical element of
patient care. The availability of self-testing monitors provides
patients with an opportunity to self-test and avoid frequent
caregiver visits. Compared to blood glucose monitoring, OAT
self-testing presents a higher level of complexity and risk,
placing a premium on patient education.
A number of companies are now providing services to patients
wishing to self-test, acting as a first-line patient resource and
assisting with device selection and patient training.
Wirelessly-enabled devices that allow patients to share readings
with physicians electronically provide an additional safety and
compliance benefit. While still a small percentage of all patients,
as demographics and awareness drive increases in the diagnosed
incidence of underlying conditions, patient self-testing for OAT
will increasingly migrate from caregiver facilities and into
homes.
