An increasing number of hospital admissions and a stupendous rise in emergency visits with a higher rate of acute conditions such as heart attacks and strokes have boosted the demand for comfortable and quality medical furniture to a greater extent. The pandemic presented several opportunities for the growth of telemedicine and the home healthcare business in the nation, despite its challenges. Around 59 percent of the hospital's total furniture requirements are for hospital beds, followed closely by lights and OT table segments. India's Medical Furniture Market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.9 percent during 2022-2028. India's medical furniture market is in the growing stage of the industry life cycle as the healthcare market is rapidly witnessing growth in the country such that the healthcare industry size is estimated to reach Rs.27.7 lakh crore by 2022.
Midmark India has been at the forefront of research and production of beds and surgical tables that aid in treating and recovering patients suffering from other chronic ailments, meeting the market demand for ergonomically superior medical furniture. Since its inception in 1951, Midmark has amassed the largest installation base of motorized beds as well as the most significant market share in India's hospital furniture sector. They are the first organization in India to comply with the International Safety Standard for hospital beds, IEC 60601-2-52, and offer customized examination room solutions. For the last seven decades, Midmark has been catering to Jaslok Hospital, Aster group, Apollo Group of Hospitals, Hiranandani Hospitals, Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, Tata Medical Centre, AIIMS, Shalby Hospitals, Wockhardt Hospitals, Sir H N Reliance Hospital, Rainbow Children's Hospitals and many more.
Services & Differentiators
The demand for superior quality medical infrastructure is prevailing in the overall industry demand. Furniture designers persistently innovate to provide a safe, better, and more comfortable patient experience. From functionality to aesthetics, medical furniture has a higher impact on nearly every aspect of any healthcare facility. With a legacy of seven decades, Midmark India is proud to be an essential provider of India's healthcare sector. "Ergonomics plays an essential role in any service-based model.
For years, hospitals have been stocking up their wards with mechanical beds that are more suited
for diagnosis and treatment rather than the comfort of the patient or the caregiver. The prime focus has always been durability, functionality, and space constraints. But with 95 percent of their time spent in the hospital bed, a patient's comfort is also of the utmost importance", briefs Sumeet Aggarwal.
Midmark seeks to create a peaceful environment conducive to emotional well-being and physical recovery. "Cleanliness is the most important factor in medical facilities. We have developed a 5-function motorized bed known as 'Stanchion.' One of the best-motorized bed facilities that are easily cleansable because of its two columnar structures. Another equally significant factor is ergonomics and accessibility. Minor things, such as where a patient would place his hands to come to a sitting position, how they can be transferred with minimal effort, and more, are being thoroughly researched by our team to come up with the best solutions possible for both patients as well as healthcare providers", adds Sumeet.
Midmark has 400+ employees and 160+ sales and customer service locations throughout India. Four regional offices are located in Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, and Mumbai, in addition to the corporate office in Mumbai. The cost-effectiveness, quality, and best-possible deliverability of the goods produced at Midmark's facilities in Umergaon are given much attention. Only suppliers and goods that pass the quality check are delivered to manufacturing, thanks to the company's adoption of the tried-and-true concepts of the Toyota Production System, Kaizen, and Lean.
"The production and quality teams evaluate the first few manufactured units. Once these receive a green light, the remaining quantities are processed. The powder coating of every item is also thoroughly examined, and once the assembly is concluded, the product undergoes an overall check. Before dispatch, a stringent quality check is done for each product", speaks Sumeet. Robotic welding technology has significantly enhanced product quality and performance in terms of consistency, appearance, and strength. Midmark is a pioneer in using nanotechnology for powder coating to provide customers with uniform, high-quality solutions.
Midmark believes that better care doesn't happen by chance— better care happens by design
Future Roadmap
Midmark India's research continually focuses on improving the overall experience for the intended audience, in this case, the patients. They are developing a variety of solutions with this in mind, such as a weighing scale built into a hospital bed. Given that the dosage of medications is based on the patient's weight, this would be a vital tool for bedridden patients, who have burns or are undergoing dialysis. In addition, Midmark and Dozee are working together to bring innovative solutions for patient care by launching India’s first Intelligent Connected Bed platform.
This intelligent bed is equipped with AI-powered contactless Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) & Early Warning System (EWS) for continuous patient monitoring. It tracks vital parameters such as the Heart Rate, Respiratory Rate, Blood Pressure, Blood Oxygen Saturation, and Skin Temperature with clinical-grade accuracy and tracks sleep quality while flagging indicators of sleep apnea.
India is witnessing a rise in the senior citizens population. As a result, there is a growing need for wheelchairs that are both user-friendly and aesthetically pleasing, and Midmark is aiming to meet this need. In 2014, Janak Healthcare became the fully owned subsidiary of Midmark Corporation and rechristened as Midmark India. Midmark US expertise facilitates the India facility to build high-quality products and solutions to standardize and improve the historically undervalued patient experience.
