The popularity of medical and wellness devices is growing each year and shows no signs of slowing down. According to Fortune Business Insights, the market is projected to grow from USD 199.06 billion in 2025 to USD 314.96 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.8% during the forecast period.
People are increasingly prioritizing aspects of their well-being, including sleep, nutrition, fitness, appearance, and mindfulness. The notion that prevention is the most effective approach to health is gaining widespread acceptance, particularly among Gen Z and Millennials. This growing awareness is driving demand for innovative wellness and medical solutions, leading to a rapidly evolving market filled with diverse and ever-advancing technologies.
Let’s explore some of the most impactful trends that have emerged in recent years.

Rise of Wearables and Advanced Biomonitoring Technology
Using smartwatches to track steps, sleep, and physical activity has been popular for years. Now, devices are becoming more multifunctional and compact. For example, wearable biometric rings are equipped with sensors that measure heart rate, sleep patterns, temperature, blood oxygen levels, and activity. Wearables with continuous glucose monitors allow users to track their blood sugar levels, enabling doctors to adjust health recommendations accordingly. Some devices may not even have a screen, as all data is streamed to a mobile app, where users can monitor and analyze their health metrics.
Mental health matters
Mental health is becoming a greater priority in overall wellness, driving the demand for innovative solutions. Modern devices offer consumers more accessible ways to take control of their mental well-being. With increasing awareness of mental health issues, many are turning to wearable technology and apps to manage stress, anxiety, and sleep disorders. Devices such as fitness trackers, meditation aids, and biofeedback tools help individuals monitor and improve their mental health daily.
For example, AJProTech collaborated with Dave Asprey to develop an EEG device for 40 Years of Zen. This biohacking tool detects and measures brainwaves, providing data-driven insights for deeper analysis and enhanced cognitive performance.
Home wellness
The COVID-19 pandemic has fundamentally reshaped daily life. With remote work and social distancing becoming the norm, consumers are increasingly turning to at-home testing kits for convenient and personalized health monitoring without the need for in-person doctor visits.
In collaboration with Asesso Health, AJProTech developed an innovative dental health device designed to detect and prevent teeth grinding (TMJ) at home. A sensor module tracks nighttime grinding and streams the data to a mobile app for analysis. Additionally, users can capture images of their jaw from multiple angles, and with specialized desktop software, a custom-made mouth guard can be 3D-printed for personalized protection.
AI and Machine Learning
With a huge variety of different wellness devices, customers become more demanding. The desire to use more personalized products and services which use biometric data for recommendation are getting even more popular with AI spreading. For example, AI-powered systems for early detection of diseases analyze medical images such as X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans. These systems help to detect diseases like cancer at earlier stages by identifying patterns and abnormalities that might be missed by the human eye. At the same time they reduce the percent of human error and prove accuracy.
Portable and Compact
The recent trend toward lightweight, easy-to-use technology has extended into the self-care sphere. Devices are now small enough to be held in one hand or fit in a pocket or bag. This miniaturization is largely possible due to seamless connectivity with smartphones, tablets, or cloud platforms via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cellular networks. These devices are typically powered by rechargeable batteries, enabling convenient remote use. Additionally, a simple touchscreen and user-friendly interface make them accessible to a wide range of users, even those without medical experience.
Work-life balance, fitness, self-care, yoga, and mental health are integral to modern living. Advances in technology are driving the development of smarter, more efficient devices that enhance health and well-being.
