Recently, Apple is about to release the news of HealthKit mobile medical application platform, which has aroused the attention of the industry, and also set off a round of discussions on the prospects of wearable medical devices. Some analysts pointed out that although wearable devices still remain in the front-end information consumer products such as smart watches and bracelets, their development potential is huge due to the determination of people's concerns about health concerns. Some agencies expect that a large number of outstanding domestic companies will fully enter the new medical field such as wearable devices, mobile medical care , and big data.
Wearable device aiming at medical concept
Wearable devices are devices that incorporate sensors, wireless communications, multimedia, and other technologies into everyday wear such as glasses, watches, bracelets, apparel, and footwear. They can be measured in a tight-fitting manner. For example, during morning exercise, there are shoes to calculate the distance of movement and calories burned, glasses to see the scenery, and bluetooth earphones to monitor blood oxygen content.
According to media reports, Apple is currently negotiating with a number of medical institutions in the United States and plans to cooperate with two of its medical record system companies in technology and services. Considering the huge user volume of Apple and the good experience of previous products, the industry expects that this wearable medical platform is expected to set off the climax of the industry and push up the market demand for wearable devices.
It is reported that since the second half of 2013, Apple has recruited top talents in the field of medical sensors to join the iWatch team, and tried to apply non-perceived blood detection technology to wearable smart devices to achieve medical detection technology and health monitoring indicators. Seamless connection on mobile smart devices.
Investing in the field of wearable medical devices is not only Apple. It is understood that Google is aiming at a contact lens that contains a blood sugar level sensor for measuring tears, and sends the collected data to a mobile device such as a smartphone for reading and analysis to prevent diabetic patients from collecting blood samples by piercing the skin. Check blood sugar levels.
Many domestic manufacturers are also actively deploying in this field. Many of the original mobile Internet manufacturers and some interested mobile phone manufacturers are involved. Not long ago, Xiaomi mobile phone launched a bracelet that can monitor breathing and sleep for less than 100 yuan.
Jiu'an Medical has launched the iHealth series of personal health management products based on mobile Internet, in which iHealth blood glucose meter can be interconnected with Apple HealthKit platform. Bao Laite recently announced that the first wireless body temperature monitoring system has obtained a medical device registration certificate, which consists of a wearable body Temperature Sensor and a mobile terminal application software.
Prospects for wearable medical devices
From the tracking of fitness indicators to the monitoring of disease data, with the intervention of many companies, wearable medical devices are rapidly entering the public life. Some analysts believe that with the advent of the "new health era", wearable technology and equipment are posing challenges to the traditional healthcare industry; in all segments of the medical industry , including diagnostics, monitoring, treatment, drug delivery, etc. Fully open to intelligence.
According to Ai Media Consulting Statistics, the size of China's mobile medical market reached 1.86 billion yuan in 2012, an increase of 17.7% over the previous year. It is expected that the scale of China Mobile's medical market will exceed 10 billion yuan by the end of 2017, reaching 12.53 billion yuan, of which the sales volume of medical equipment market will be close to 5 billion yuan. It is understood that in the wearable medical equipment, the smart bracelet is the most dazzling. According to the latest report from market research firm Canalys, the shipment of smart wristbands in 2014 may exceed 8 million, and will double to 23 million next year. In 2017, this number will increase to 45 million.
Guotai Junan Research reported that the new technologies of mobile Internet, wearable devices and big data are subverting our cognitive structure of medical treatment. The traditional medical equipment and hospital business model will be completely subverted, and a large number of domestic excellent enterprises will fully enter. The new medical field is one of the directions for future investment.
Guotai Junan pointed out that wearable medical care is the new entry point for mobile internet in the future. The biggest potential lies not in the hardware itself, but in the sticking of customers through hardware, the medical cloud “big data†collected behind the hardware, and the resulting Business model: use the medical cloud "big data" to provide users with personalized remote services, provide automatic triage services for hospitals, provide highly re-education services for doctors, and cooperate with insurance companies to bind customers.
