Five wearable devices will subvert the traditional medical industry
Smart watches and sports bracelets are the most representative wearable devices. One of the key functions that consumers love is health monitoring. According to market research data, sales of wearable products are expected to increase to 160 million units by 2020. At the same time, more and more wearable products based on health monitoring are expected to receive new medical-grade features and certifications. In fact, the following five products have already shown certain value in the medical field, so let's take a look. Wearable tape Researchers at the University of Texas have developed an affordable wearable tape that can be easily applied to the skin surface through advanced microelectronics and polymer binders to monitor patient vital signs such as heart rate, Muscle exercise and so on. Although not widely used in the medical field, it is undoubtedly a promising technology. 2. Smart glasses Many well-known, smart glasses represented by Google glasses have not received consumers for the time being, but in the professional field, they still have certain prospects. At present, large hospitals and medical institutions in some developed countries have begun to use Google glasses for operation teaching and medical training, and even play a huge role in surgery. If smart glasses are customized for hardware and software in the medical field, it is likely to form a trend. 3. UNICEF Kid Power UNICEF Kid Power is a bracelet developed in collaboration with UNICEF. Each sale will donate $10 to UNICEF to improve the quality of life of malnourished children around the world. Essentially, it's a sports bracelet that monitors the number of steps and gets 5 points per day to reach 12,000 steps. The manufacturer will donate a therapeutic food package to malnourished children. Obviously, this digital form of charity is undoubtedly the other direction of wearable devices. 4. Smart contact lenses Google X and Swiss pharmaceutical manufacturer NovarTIs are developing a new project, smart contact lenses. This product can track blood sugar levels through the user's tears, as well as a version that helps the eye to restore auto focus and improve farsightedness. The prototype of the product will begin clinical trials in 2016 and is also promising. 5. Embrace Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed Embrace, a new wearable device designed for epileptic patients. It monitors activity, sleep, and physiological responses, and even if the guardian is notified of the seizure, the data collected is positive for the treatment of epilepsy.
