Wearables, especially fitness products, have entered people's lives. The cheapest sports bracelets are less than 100 yuan. There are also a large number of sports watches, sleep monitors, brain exercises based on EEG technology, relaxation equipment and even It is a device that can monitor blood sugar.
However, despite the emergence of new products, wearable devices have the regret of “wearing short†and “wearing not longâ€. According to Tencent ISUX's "2014 Smart Wearables Market White Paper", 25% of netizens have potential demand for smart wearable devices, but smart wearable devices have a turnover rate of 87% in three months.
At present, smart wearable devices are moving from sports health to health care, including blood glucose meters, blood pressure meters, etc., causing widespread concern in the capital market. It is not only the function of pedometer, blood pressure measurement, blood glucose measurement, but also many areas waiting for technological breakthroughs and explorations, such as Alzheimer's disease.
The US technology blog ReadWrite counts the five areas that have the greatest impact on wearable devices in the next few years, including the health care sector:
Data-based medical care
Definition: Continuously collect and display user health and motion information, embedded biosensors and software. This will help doctors, medical teams and coaches make accurate decisions quickly.
Dr. David Berkoff, a sports medicine expert at the University of North Carolina, said: "One of the most important goals at present is to improve the sustainability of medical care. Currently, we can only obtain information on the short-term, discontinuous health of patients. When patients see the disease, we understand their situation on the day and make decisions accordingly."
With continuous monitoring, wearable computing devices can fill critical gaps. "With these devices, we will be able to obtain consistent and accurate data on the patient's physical condition and daily behavior. This will help doctors make better decisions and help promote habit changes and outcomes," said Berkov.
Many people believe that the medical field will bring huge space for wearable devices. Although wearables are only one line away from medical devices , this distance is huge. Due to the accuracy and availability of data, it is difficult to obtain the qualification of medical certification for wearable devices. Moreover, the platform for medical wearable devices based on big data is also more formal than content. The challenges faced by wearables in the medical field will be extremely cruel.
2. Personalized wearable devices
Definition: Perfect for the user's body, clothing with sensors and medical equipment. Such garments and equipment are manufactured using 3D printing technology to achieve customization.
Smart clothing
There are reports that Nike is using nanotechnology to embed sensors into clothing. In the near future, users will be able to use 3D printing technology to make their own smart T-shirts. Athletes and coaches will be better able to understand whether they are overtrained and whether the athlete's body is short of water or too nervous. This will also reduce the cost of production and supply chain management for companies such as Nike.
3D printing with embedded sensors will also change the medical device industry. The Mayo Clinic has developed the first such device. The hospital is exploring how to implant sensors into the device to enhance the monitoring of the patient's physical condition.
