Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Medicine MEVIS in Germany has developed a new catheter system called Intelligent Catheter Navigation (IntelliCath) to enable precise navigation through the vasculature.

Catheter ablation would propel the market growth with a very high rate, as these devices are used for the treatment of atrial fibrillation when medications are not effective. Catheter ablation procedure is very low risk and minimally-invasive in nature than other surgery (such as MAZE surgery).

An insertable cardiac monitor is a small electronic device usually attached to the heart via a catheter inserted through the skin into the chest cavity. It finds applications in cardiac rhythm management. It is designed to record heart rhythms in real-time and is used for diagnostic purposes in monitoring and treating diseases such as heart arrhythmia, congestive heart failure, and heart rhythm irregularities. Some models can measure blood pressure automatically, while others require the user's manual input of readings. Furthermore, some monitors are designed to provide continuous feedback to the user by providing feedback in the form of visual images or sound reports. Some monitors also offer additional functions such as providing feedback on the patient's temperature, oxygen saturation, blood sugar levels, and other pertinent information. There are two common types of these monitors that are available and they are called open and closed systems. The open system is generally considered more reliable than the closed system because there is less chance for error. However, it is important to note that the most accurate results can only be obtained by using both the open and closed systems. This type of cardiac monitor is often used with people who have had their heart surgery.

Video telemedicine uses technology primarily computers, video, messaging, and phone by medical professionals to diagnose and treat patients in remote locations. Video telemedicine or telemedicine involves the use of electronic communications and software for management of chronic conditions. Increasing prevalence of hospital-acquired infection and increasing incidences of white coat syndrome is expected to drive growth of the global video telemedicine market during the forecast period. According to the Indian Journal Medical Research (IJMR), in 2017, surgical-site infections (SSIs) were the most common HAI with prevalence of 23.94% followed by hospital-acquired pneumonia with 18.31%, catheter-related blood stream infection (16.9%), and urinary tract infections (16.9%) in India. Such high prevalence has led to increase in demand for video telemedicine globally. Video telemedicine offers numerous advantages such as less time in waiting room, no transportation time and cost, and fewer chances of catching a new illness.

3D cardiac mapping is a technique that is widely accepted for identification, characterization, and localization of an arrhythmia. Cardiac mapping is a procedure in which the information from cardiac electrograms is collected and displayed. It is used to diagnose heart rhythms particularly in case of arrhythmia. This procedure is commonly done by injecting catheter into the heart chamber percutaneously to record electrograms sequentially, which is done to correlate electrograms in cardiac anatomy.
