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.
Medical as a way out for wearable devices? There is a long way to go
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. Obviously, wearables are only one line away from medical devices, but the distance is huge because they are not certified for medical devices.
Don't ignore the medical certification qualification, which is equivalent to the difference between health care products and drugs. So, what are the problems and challenges faced by wearable devices based on health monitoring?
The accuracy of the data cannot be guaranteed
A major problem with motion monitoring equipment is the accuracy of the data on the mobile phone. Even with the same motion and heart rate sensors, the differences between devices across different brands are obvious, depending on the software algorithm. Unfortunately, the industry lacks a unified measure.
Of course, if the user is only trying to lose weight and monitor calorie consumption, the data may not have much impact even if it is not accurate; but if a heart patient wants to use a heart rate chest strap or smart watch to monitor heart rate and feed back the data to As a reference for treatment, doctors' accuracy is an important data related to life. These heart rate monitoring devices obviously need an authoritative and uniform certification standard.
Most products are still "self-placebo"
DesSpence, a well-known medical expert, said that a large number of wearable products based on health monitoring are still a “self-placeboâ€, just like some self-testing medical devices, such as blood pressure monitors, AIDS monitoring test papers, etc., which can never be reached due to technical limitations. The accuracy of professional medical equipment. He also pointed out the lack of equipment for "baby fetal heart monitoring" and accused the product of making pregnant women paranoid and picky eaters, which lacked practical significance.
DesSpence said that the Internet of self-test equipment is a good phenomenon, but it needs proper supervision, especially when manufacturers continue to exaggerate their medical role. Regrettably, even in advanced countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom, the progress of food and drug regulatory agencies on the certification and supervision of wearable devices is still relatively slow. On the one hand, the market value of wearable devices should be considered, and the market economy should not be excessively severely damaged. On the one hand, it is necessary to develop a new and appropriate standard to weigh its medical value, and it will take some time to achieve this balance.
Medical wearable devices are platformized, in a form larger than content
There are also views that big data formed by wearable devices will be an important resource for smart healthcare. Big data-based mobile healthcare can be divided into three phases: the first phase is data collection, through some medical wearable devices; the second phase is data analysis and integration, such as Apple's new Healthkit mobile medical application The platform helps users to integrate data; the third stage is medical services, and doctors use the data obtained from these devices to conduct medical services.
Therefore, many medical wearable device manufacturers with health monitoring data use hardware as the entrance, try to build their own big data platform, or find a third-party platform to cooperate and improve their services to help users provide medical solutions.
However, the data is provided. With the platform, can the problem be solved? Far from being so simple, medical wearable devices are platformized, and more often than form. It is necessary to know that medical care is a fairly complex industry, including hospitals, doctors, pharmaceutical companies and other participants. Medical technology is limited by the environment and equipment resources. To solve medical problems, it is necessary to integrate various relationships and resources. Government policy restrictions and regulation. Although there are some comprehensive platforms, there is also a problem with information security. The user's health information, including identity information, is collected by the wearable device vendor and then delivered to the third-party platform. There will be a large information security problem in the middle. It is particularly important for the platform to protect the user's information security.
For medical wearable companies, their profit model is relatively lacking. In addition to low-cost competition to collect user equipment fees, some can also get very little from hospitals and third-party platforms, making little money, losing money. Not a few. No one bought the equipment, let alone talk about the service.
Medical wearable devices have greatly promoted the development of mobile medical care, while providing consumers with a convenient, fast and fresh experience, which can protect the health of consumers. However, medical wearable devices also have market confusion, serious product homogeneity and other issues, and urgent need to be standardized by a unified industry standard. In January 2015, the US Food and Drug Administration issued two draft guidelines on Internet Elizabeth. The FDA specifies the criteria for determining low-risk platform health products and provides basic recommendations for risk assessment of third-wave accessories. At present, China has not yet introduced standards in this regard. If the standard of medical wearable devices like the United States can be introduced as soon as possible, this market will be greatly regulated, thus promoting the faster and healthier development of mobile medical.
At the same time, for these medical wearable companies and related mobile medical platforms, not only should we focus on the products, but also provide corresponding supporting services. Only when the services really land, can we increase the user's stickiness and let users have long-term use. Desire to meet their medical needs
