Leo King - "Wearable technology, from smart watches, contact lenses to smart textiles, digestible microchip drugs, can change medical care ."

Experts say that detailed disease monitoring will enable doctors to more successfully understand and treat patients' diseases. Some hospitals in the UK, Western Europe and the United States have entered an early experimental phase, while others are lagging behind, and the upcoming era of smart healthcare cannot be ignored.

According to IDC data, more than six million devices, including medical and fitness, were sold in 2013, and that number will rise to 100 million by 2018. Considering that this is an early stage, it is expected to continue to soar.

Karen Taylor, research director at Deloitte Consulting, said, "More and more, patients even ask doctors to recommend wearables."

Wearables are being used in different settings to help people with Parkinson's disease, diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure and other diseases manage diseases, and to help the elderly live longer and live alone.

According to the British PA Consulting Group, this technology reduces hospitalization rates and visit rates, saving £6.5 billion annually for UK NHS. So the UK made a lot of investment in telemedicine research and was considered the earliest application.

1. Technology transfer

Smart watches are leading the way in technology, as they track motion trajectories and pace, and are widely used in disease management. For example, the Michael J. Fox Parkinson's Research Foundation teamed up with Intel to help patients with Parkinson's disease overcome the disease with devices such as Pebble smart watches.

Dr. Todd Sherer, CEO of the Michael J. Fox Parkinson's Research Foundation, described Parkinson's disease as “24*7 disease” and they added a wearable system that is available 24/7. Back-end sensors and other real-time monitoring of data anomalies and changes provide researchers with an objective way to monitor disease development, thereby improving disease treatment outcomes and research.

According to Silvia Piai, research manager at IDC Health Insights, there is a huge potential for customized smart watches and other wearables to track mental activity and environmental interactions to improve mental health.

Older people can also benefit, especially smart watches and smart clothing that measure heart rate, temperature, exercise and other physiological characteristics. Dr. James Amor, a researcher at the University of Warwick in the United Kingdom, believes that activity monitoring can help families and caregivers understand the health and daily behavior of older people, and bring greater confidence and reduce hospitalization rates.

Traditional products are usually aimed at fitness, such as Fitbit wristbands, Polar and Samsung watches, and the emergence of Apple Watch breaks the traditional pattern, allowing more healthcare and disease management technologies to come in.

Then came Google, in 2014, reached an agreement with the Swedish pharmaceutical company Novartis Group to jointly develop smart contact lenses. The glasses not only restore the eye focus function, but also directly monitor the blood sugar level of diabetic patients, so that they are free from the pain of blood tests, or will become the gospel of diabetic patients. Novartis Chief Executive Joe Jimenez said that wearable technology will increasingly "manage human diseases."

Pharmaceutical companies are keen to see this change because of the decline in revenue streams. Piai explained, “Because these companies have a big problem with the lack of representative drugs, the technology to manage disease is becoming a focus of the industry.”

The technology company Proteus has also introduced a smart tablet powered by stomach acid. The tablet has a built-in micro-wireless signal transmitter and sensor that, after oral entry into the body, tracks the physiological response of the human body and transmits the data to a smartphone or tablet. A spokesperson for the company said the tablets could help doctors "make a correct judgment about the progression of the disease." Other companies are also developing smart skin patches that monitor vital signs and even release drugs.

The transfer and progress of all these technologies is undoubtedly to better maintain health. How to better stimulate patients to use? What is indispensable is financial incentives.
