Size a device market
Size the patient population and clinical burden for a medical device program.
Describe your device and the condition it addresses, and Anara finds incidence, prevalence, clinical burden, and geographic concentration data, with a citation for every figure. Use it to build the clinical and commercial case for a new device program.
Prompt
A startup co-founder builds the ICU market sizing for a Series A deck. The device supports ventilator weaning.
Prompt
I'm building the market sizing section for a Series A pitch. Our device supports ventilator weaning in adult ICU patients requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation (more than 7 days).
Find current data on:
1. The incidence rate of adult patients on mechanical ventilation in US ICUs per year
2. The proportion requiring prolonged ventilation (over 7 days)
3. US adult population data 2024-2025 for denominator calculations
4. Which hospitals in the US have the largest concentrated numbers of ICU beds in a single hospital
Search published epidemiology, CMS data, hospital-reported statistics, and any other current sources. Cite every figure. Do not estimate any number that is not reported in a source.What to add to your library
- Required: nothing to upload. The prompt carries the research direction.
- Optional: target geographies beyond the US.
- Optional: competing devices or procedures for the same indication, so Anara can find their procedure volumes.
- Optional: your regulatory pathway (510(k), PMA, CE marking), which shapes which burden data matters most.
What you get
- Incidence and prevalence figures with denominator context.
- Clinical burden estimates such as hospitalization rates and treatment duration, plus geographic concentration.
- A cited source for every figure, so you can verify each number before it reaches investors or regulators.
Follow-ups
Find where target patients are concentrated.
Prompt
From the ICU data you found, identify which hospital systems in the US have the highest concentration of ICU beds per facility and the highest rates of prolonged mechanical ventilation admissions. Search for any published hospital quality data or CMS reports that break this down by facility size or system.Repeat the sizing for a second geography.
Prompt
Run the same market sizing search for EU5 countries (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, UK). Find current incidence rates for prolonged mechanical ventilation in ICU patients, hospital ICU bed counts by country, and any published registry data on ventilator weaning outcomes. Cite all sources.Tips
- State the exact clinical definition. "Prolonged ventilation over 7 days" and "ICU patients on ventilation" size very different markets.
- Name the sources you trust, such as CMS or registry data. Targeted sources beat open-ended web search.
- Read the methodology behind any figure you pitch. Registry data from one region or year may not transfer.
- Pair patient numbers with procedure volumes for the current standard of care to frame the opportunity.
