Can wearable medical devices change the way people live?
Patients can transmit data through smart devices and get proper treatment without leaving home. The Boao Forum for Asia, which is being held here, paints a picture of the future of smart healthcare – collecting data, managing health, and treating diseases through wearable medical devices.
What changes will “smart medicine†bring to people's lifestyles? How to prevent and control the privacy and privacy of data sharing? What improvements are needed for existing equipment? The heated discussion of the Chinese and foreign business communities has made the future of smart medical care clearer.
Smart medical and wearable devices will advance medical advancement
The advent of an aging society has led to an increase in medical costs, while medical resources are in short supply and unevenly distributed, and there is an urgent need to improve them through technological innovation. Experts believe that smart medical care will push medicine into the second stage.
Liu Jiren, chairman and CEO of Neusoft Group, said that the cost of medical care in all countries in the world is increasing rapidly. How to control costs and find ways to let people share medical resources fairly is a huge challenge. The data show that in China, only 5% to 10% of the population can get high quality medical services.
Smart medical and wearable devices will be able to contribute to this change. Sun Yingquan, president and chief strategy officer of Samsung Electronics, said that Samsung is committed to the layout of "digital health", through the collection, analysis and utilization of health data, to build a "smart health ecosystem" to provide consumers with solutions to manage their physical and mental health.
“The perfect combination of medical and IT is no longer a dream.†Sam Hogud, president of the University of California, San Francisco, said that smart medical devices have played a role in some aspects, such as type 1 diabetes, which is now monitored in real time through sensors and other instruments. The intelligent drug delivery pump is used to understand the changes in the sugar in the body and continue to be administered accurately.
“It is foreseeable that in the future, wearables will reduce overall medical costs overall.†British IC CEO Simon Siggs said that people in remote areas can transmit high-definition data at home and get remote analysis and Treatment, to avoid the pain of running.
However, the future of smart healthcare still faces many challenges – the collection and analysis of data is difficult. Wang Jun, CEO of Huada Gene, said that mobile medical wearable devices are an effective medium for collecting and transmitting life and health information, but digitalization itself has great difficulties.
"The coding, analysis and decoding of life are based on the understanding of life, but we still don't know how humans are coded, and there are too many details and mysteries." Wang Jun said that the data problem is intelligence. Whether medical care can provide people with better medical services is the key.
The hidden worry in development: How does smart medical care protect human privacy?
The collection, analysis, transmission and sharing of data is the key to advance medical progress. People are excited about the high performance of wearable medical devices, and they are deeply worried about how data security is guaranteed.
Liu Jiren said that the development of smart medical care requires a strong data foundation, and the integration of health data collected by wearable devices with data collected by hospitals can truly completely affect the transformation of the medical system.
However, sacrificing safety for progress is something that people cannot afford. If a hacker enters a device placed on the heart, misoperation or random operation will have a serious impact.
Derek Aberley, president of Qualcomm, said that the rapid development of wearable medical devices is indeed facing the challenge of security and reliability. The network that transmits data wirelessly must improve its security. There is also a huge security risk in cloud data. These are all in need of innovation.
Only by taking precautions can we avoid paying more for “changeâ€. How to achieve massive data and better protect personal privacy? Simon Siggs believes that wearable medical devices are in urgent need of setting boundaries.
Rhodes Beckstrom said that at present, people's willingness to share data is limited. In 2014, a person with Google glasses entered the bar, and the result was flocked. People would question why you wear smart glasses. Are you going to take us down? “Maybe this wearable device should be used in some areas, such as some relatively exclusive areas such as mechanical work or surgery.â€
Experts attending the conference believe that future wearable devices will undoubtedly be used in more fields, but to ensure that it is beneficial to humans, rather than bringing new threats, the use of borders is in urgent need of further regulation.
