How to dig deep into the potential of wearable device medical health applications
At this year's International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) and the World Mobile Communications Conference (WMC), wearable devices have become the hottest spot of attention. Major ICT vendors are targeting the wearable device market, and the new products share common characteristics. That is, it is widely used in the field of medical health. According to Transparency Market Research, medical care is the most promising application for wearable devices; Ahadome predicts that wearable technology can account for at least 50% of wearables in healthcare. The unique advantages of China's large market make the market for wearable devices in the medical and health field broad and become an emerging field that is rapidly developing. Some wearable device manufacturers are actively developing medical health applications, but there are still no typical successful application cases.
Level 3 medical health services available
Wearable devices can provide medical health services at the primary, intermediate and advanced levels. Continuous monitoring of vital signs, medical diagnosis through linked cloud platforms, and comprehensive medical technology to help disease treatment provide strong support for health services.
Primary applications are currently the most common form of wearable medical health applications, and are used more in the sports health field and less in the medical field. To put it simply, the primary application is that wearable devices use technologies such as the Internet of Things and the mobile Internet to embed sensors, wireless communications, multimedia and other technologies into the clothing that people wear, such as wristbands, watches, glasses, shoes, and clothing. The RFID sensor collects human body signs such as blood sugar, blood pressure, heart rate, blood oxygen content, body temperature, and respiratory rate. Because the wearable device adopts non-invasive continuous monitoring technology, people can realize continuous monitoring of vital signs information in non-invasive conditions, thus obtaining complete physical information, which is conducive to disease discovery and diagnosis.
The intermediate application means that the wearable device can be applied to the medical and health field through the combination of cloud computing and big data related technologies, and the physical information collected by the wearable device in the primary application is sent to the cloud platform, and the doctor can pass through a large number of cloud platforms. Continuous data, big data analysis, to detect diseases in a timely manner. This application can realize medical advancement, from “governing the disease†to “treating the diseaseâ€, thus reducing the burden of medical treatment and treatment; due to the characteristics of cloud computing, cloud computing technology can be used to achieve resource sharing and solve resource imbalance. The problem is that in the case of uneven distribution of medical resources in China, the application of wearable devices combined with cloud platform in the field of medical and health can effectively alleviate the problem of uneven distribution of medical resources in China.
Wearable devices can be used not only for timely detection of disease, long-term monitoring, but also for disease treatment, which is an advanced application for wearable devices. With the characteristics of miniaturization and portability, wearable devices combined with medical technology will bring about changes in the medical device industry , from information collection to direct intervention.
