Digital biomarker technology is used to capture physiological and behavioral data, diagnose diseases and predict outcomes. It is available in the form of portables, wearables, implantables and digestibles. Popular examples of digital biomarkers include FitBits, Oura rings and Apple Watches. The digital biomarker market is expected to witness tremendous growth and according to the latest research reports, it is estimated to reach around USD 24.5-25 billion by 2030, growing at a rate of 36-37% during the forecast period.

To get a clearer picture of this rapidly growing technology, we conducted a study to evaluate the country-wise distribution of patents filed by different companies over the last 10 years. We created a search query in PatSeer using keywords related to digital biomarkers and combined it with relevant IPC and CPC classes. The final search query resulted in a set of 3000+ patent families which was then studied further to understand the patent filing trends and top players in each country.
