How many wearable devices are "monitoring" your health?

Wearable devices are the new favorite in the health field for many years. From the original bracelets and pedometers to today's watches, socks, rings, etc., the form of wearable devices covers almost all possibilities. On the other hand, The monitoring function of the wearable device has also expanded from the initial stepping, monitoring blood pressure to heart rate, sleep monitoring, etc. It is worth noting that many internationally renowned brands have also launched wearable devices or products with similar functions. In the industry's view, the current wearable device features are still in the health monitoring category, and some wearable devices have partial treatment functions. On the other hand, to truly realize the efficacy of wearable devices, it also faces the threshold of data accurate and implantable device development.

Smart watch

The introduction of smart watches makes the future of wearable watches look even better. The monitoring function of many products also covers heart rate, blood pressure, sleep and so on. However, it is worth noting that because of the fear that the monitoring function is not reliable, the first launch of iwatch removed the health monitoring function that was originally reported. According to reports, consistency problems and technically possible omissions eventually made Apple give up the health of iwatch. Monitoring function. This move has also attracted the attention of the industry. In addition, the price and waterproofness of wearable watches are also the focus of many consumers.

Ring

The ring, which has always been closely related to fashion, now has a health monitoring function, and the jewelry industry is also popular. According to the relevant introduction, the ring has become a form of wearable device. Some manufacturers say that the aorta passes through the root of the finger, which can avoid the disadvantages of traditional equipment instability during exercise, and is more accurate than traditional health equipment monitoring.

Implantable wearable devices are now a new force for many foreign manufacturers in wearable devices. Some foreign experts pointed out that once the ability to control implantable devices is available, real-time tracking of tumor growth or delivery of drugs will be realized. Pacemakers are considered to be the earliest applications of implanted devices. If the technology is mature, the efficacy of the treatment of such devices should not be underestimated.

sock

Just this year, a technology company launched a smart sock for fitness enthusiasts, each pair of socks equipped with sensors to collect data while users are running and walking. The sensor on the bottom of the sock can also measure the pressure, the point of focus of the footsteps, and so on.

wristband

The bracelet is almost the common carrier of many wearable devices, and many businesses including Xiaomi, jawbone and Huawei have corresponding health bracelets. The relative price of the people also gives the bracelet a broader market. Step counting, heart rate and sleep quality monitoring are common features of many bracelets. On the other hand, compared to other wearable devices, the relatively single shape design, a variety of colors to choose from also makes the health bracelet popular with many fashion people.

Bra

Objects that appear to be unrelated to wearable devices have actually achieved some degree of healing. For example, a drug used to treat breast cancer has obvious side effects after oral administration. A master invented by a master's student at the Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London, a special material can slowly release the drug to the wearer, and the patient absorbs the drug through the skin. A better therapeutic effect can be obtained while removing oral side effects.

Mobile phone comes with

Many wearable devices rely heavily on mobile apps, and some monitoring functions need to be interconnected. Therefore, manufacturers including Apple include health monitoring functions in mobile phones, and the mobile phone itself becomes a wearable device. The number of steps in the circle of friends has also become easier.

Health monitoring through data interaction

The so-called wearable devices are actually some monitoring devices with specific functions. Wang Anping, a doctor of endocrinology at the General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army, said at a press conference about wearable products that wearable devices are electronic devices that can be worn directly or combined with clothing and accessories. On the one hand, wearable devices are hardware devices, and more importantly, data interaction is implemented through software support for health monitoring. The wearable device was explained in detail in an article published in a US website called "Wearable Devices" in 2014. According to the article, wearable devices (also known as wearable technology) are electronic devices that are implanted in clothing or accessories and that people can wear comfortably. These devices can perform some functions such as mobile phones and laptops; however, in some cases, wearable devices can have similar functions entirely through handheld devices.

Wearable device is not a medical device

Wang Anping said that in general, wearable devices cannot be defined as medical devices at present, but it must be acknowledged that these devices do play a certain role in the management of chronic diseases. Combined with mobile medicine, it also opens up a new model of health management.

From the very beginning, wearable devices have some fashion elements. The original bracelet form has also been favored by many fashion activists. After the bracelet, wearable devices have become the starting point of many companies. Socks, underwear, and watches have become "carriers" for wearable devices.

Zhuang Yiqiang, director of the Hong Kong Eric's Hospital Management Research Center, said that the initial wearable device function is focused on the step counting function, and the monitoring of health indicators such as blood pressure and heart rate has almost become the "standard" for wearable devices.

Swiss research firm Soreon Research expects smart wearables to help save 1.3 million lives by 2020. The company said in a report that smart wearables can save more lives, mainly thanks to hospital monitoring, which alone can save about 700,000 lives. The report said: "When patients leave the intensive care unit (ICU), they may be at risk because their monitoring is suddenly relaxed."

â–  Future

Numerical accuracy is a problem for wearable devices

The monitoring function of the wearable device should be fully utilized, and the accuracy of the data is self-evident. According to a PricewaterhouseCoopers survey, 30% of wearable device users have left these devices behind in a year. Insiders pointed out that the core value of wearable devices lies in the big data in the back-end cloud. The most worthwhile value is forecasting, and the same is true for health management. The accuracy of the data monitored by some devices after wearing is the key to the problem, because the accuracy of the data is directly related to its prediction and suggestion function for human health.

Wearable devices are also key to mobile medical breakthroughs

Wearable devices are also inextricably linked to the current mobile health care. Zhuang Yiqiang told reporters that if there is a breakthrough in wearable devices, such as the universal application of implantable wearable devices, it will help mobile medical care further penetrate the core of medical care. If you develop remote intelligence with the development of artificial intelligence, it may also help mobile medical care to a large extent.
