Release date: 2014-08-11 At the Apple Global Developers Conference held in June this year, Apple's latest release of the iOS8 system is a major upgrade point, which is the addition of health applications. Apple built the HealthKit health management application in iOS8, supporting third-party wearable medical devices in the health care industry, and opening up data to medical institutions to become a health management platform. If you have heard of wearables or wearable medical equipment for two or three years, there may be very few people who have heard of it, but today, these devices are approaching the lives of ordinary people and quickly expelling heat waves. At the same time, the capital of all walks of life came. In March of this year, three major IT giants Intel, Google and Facebook announced that they would invest more in the field of wearable devices. In China, Xiaomi, the marriage and love website, Century Jiayuan [microblogging] and so on have begun to get involved in this field. According to the reporter's understanding, currently wearable devices are mainly used in the three fields of entertainment, health care and insurance. The fashion elements of health-based indicators are tracked and wearable devices are becoming active. More and more manufacturers and fashion companies are looking and comfortable. Degree of force. The rise of wearable medical devices has had a huge impact on the traditional medical industry and medical device industry. In fact, the greatest potential of wearable medical devices is not hardware, but the collection of medical big data through hardware, and the innovative profit model. Next year's market size exceeds 1 billion In the eyes of many capitals, wearable medical devices have become an attractive cake. According to ABI's survey data, approximately 30 million wireless wearable health sensors were used in medical electronics in 2012, a 37% increase from 2011. At the same time, the sales volume of China's wearable portable mobile medical equipment market reached 420 million yuan in 2012. It is estimated that the market size will exceed 1 billion yuan by 2015. By 2017, the sales volume of China's wearable portable mobile medical equipment market will be close to 50. 100 million yuan. "Daily Economic News" reporter learned that the use of wearable technology in the field of health care, mainly electronic sensor tattoos, smart fitness bracelets, smart contact lenses, wearable painkillers, smart watches and smart socks. The first touchable device in the country, or the iPod with Nike+ in Apple in 2006. The reporter noticed that Nike+ is actually a simple software application, using the gravity sensing device that comes with the iPod to develop the running counting function, combined with GPS positioning, remote consultation and other counts to provide distance, heat consumption, etc. for running or walking. Function, this is one of the applications of wearable devices in the field of health. Nike used this to launch the first wearable Air Zoom Moire, which further collects data such as stride and intensity, and draws a panoramic view of the exercise effect to the exerciser. Steve Jobs once commented on Nike+: "Our collaboration with Nike takes the combination of sports and music to a new level, so you have a personal trainer or a running friend, motivating you to take each step. step." In 2010, Google successively applied for patents for its smart glasses. Industry pioneer Nike also made great progress. In 2010, it developed Nike+Running, and it was bound with Twitter and Facebook. It used running sports as a social sport. In China, it was with Sina. Weibo and WeChat cooperation. At the same time, many domestic manufacturers are also eager to move. The reporter searched the Internet for "wearable medical" and found that all kinds of bracelets and watches have everything. Many manufacturers who have done mobile Internet and some interested mobile phone manufacturers are involved. Just recently, Xiaomi Mobile launched a bracelet that can monitor breathing and sleep for less than one hundred yuan. Tencent released the WeChat health bracelet. Try cross-border cooperation mode As an emerging industry, wearable medical devices have described unimaginable technology blueprints, such as monitoring brain data tracking emotions, health data, and more. In the view of Guotai Junan researcher Li Qiushi, wearable devices will change the way people live and bring a revolution to the medical device industry. Its products can not only monitor the health indicators of the human body anytime and anywhere, but also can be used for the treatment of various diseases. For example, a smart watch can automatically input human health status and exercise status, and people's life, work, and entertainment experience will usher in a revolutionary change. According to incomplete statistics, there are more than a dozen types of wearable medical devices available in China, such as smart thermometers, smart bracelets, and smart oximeters. The reporter also learned that Huawei and Xiaomi have set up special business units to prepare for the field of wearable medical treatment. At the same time, APP software has become an important platform for the active user community. This year, the company has tens of millions of active users, and has jointly launched smart thermometers and smart scales with Ruiren and PICOOC. Users can quickly get nearly 10 kinds of physical health indicators including fat content, moisture content and muscle mass after using smart products. At the same time, with the support of data analysis engine, they can receive analysis reports and health advice. Previously, Daxie CEO Chai Ke publicly stated that the development and imagination of wearable devices is huge. In the field of health care, Daxie relies on the big data platform of its own APP to expand the medical field and through other industries such as hospitals and insurance. Cross-border business cooperation, launching more professional medical value-added services. In an interview with reporters, Bao Laite Chairman Yan Jinyuan said that there are two main types of companies that can make wearable medical equipment: one is an innovative company, they usually speculate on the concept and attract venture capital financing, but Part of the last can not be done; the other is traditional enterprises, mainly focusing on the industrialization and directional decision-making of wearable devices, considering whether they can make money. As a result, the former often chooses some entertainment-grade medical equipment, while the latter chooses professional-grade medical equipment. “If you think that fashion is the most important when positioning your products, you should choose a fast-moving consumer such as a bracelet. The appearance is attractive, and the cycle of changing styles is very short. If you want to do professional and technically high medical products, you need to go through a long time. R & D, qualification certification, but these products are often more accurate, better medical results." Yan Jinyuan said. Health insurers are also taking action to work with wearable technology companies, startups in the healthcare industry, and other companies to provide incentives for customers to connect applications and devices to their insurance plans. According to the reporter, in the United States, some health insurance companies have tried to provide wearable medical equipment to users for free. At the cost, users must agree to provide the data collected by the equipment to the insurance company. Insurance companies pay to purchase this data, through which they can analyze the user's living habits as a basis for adjusting the relevant premiums. In China, there are also some companies that are eager to move. Li Yi, executive vice president of China Mobile Internet Industry Alliance, said in an interview with the media that Health Big Data is the most subversive new industry in the mobile Internet era and will redefine the medical industry. In Europe, insurance companies buy wearable devices such as bracelets for customers to monitor their health in a long-term and real-time manner to reduce the chances of customers taking medicine, entering hospitals, and performing surgery, thus reducing the cost of company compensation. The reporter noticed that the APP platform “Le Dynamics†cooperated with Metropolitan Life Insurance, and users could exchange the music power points obtained through sports for the corresponding insurance products. Yan Jinyuan also said that he will cooperate with insurance companies in the future. In fact, collecting medical big data through hardware and using this innovative profit model also represents a future direction for wearable medical devices. ABI expects that by 2017, applications for remote patient monitoring and online professional medical care will account for 20% of the wearable wireless device market. Some analysts believe that fitness and medical wearable devices will account for 60% of the wearable device market if extended to the entire health sector. IMS, a world-renowned medical consultancy, predicts that by 2050, one out of every five people in the world will be over 60 years old. Hypertension, late-onset diabetes, heart disease and other chronic diseases that need to be monitored will become the driving force for the growth of wearable devices. . Although the development prospects are good, it is ultimately driven by capital and technology. In Yan Jinyuan's view, wearable medical care is an industry that has to be invested for a long time. Under the new concept of big data and fan economy, the wearable device with cool appearance can indeed attract some consumers to buy in a short time, but impulsive consumption can not produce continuous purchasing power, and users who have already purchased will not continue and long-term. Wear it. Om Yue product manager Lu Yuejing also told reporters that according to the current technical capabilities, it is impossible to have a wearable device that integrates all functions in the short term. In the future, wearable medical devices must be deeply rooted in the subdivision. The reporter noted that most of the wearable medical devices on the market today have achieved some health data collection, such as heart rate, exercise volume, sleep time, etc., but they have not done enough in data system management and potential value mining. An industry observer said that the principle of smart bracelets is similar: the built-in accelerometer calculates the number of steps of the user, the activity level of the day, and publishes the data to the mobile APP. In order to achieve differentiation, we must first work hard on the hardware, make the hardware comfortable, have a long battery life, and then find a breakthrough in portability and appearance. The second is to add a sensor that can measure more physiological indicators. This is no hardware. The Internet company that develops experience is awkward; the third is the integration of back-end data to reuse the collected data. "More users want an application that can guide their behavior, not just a data curve description. But this is a high demand for manufacturers. If you want to cut into the medical field, you need powerful chips, algorithms, medical technology and professionalism. The team is supporting." In the interview, some manufacturers have revealed that they are exploring the value behind the data platform, that is, smart wearable devices can not only earn value by selling hardware, and the future mobile Internet is more to find profit points in value-added services and services. This kind of thinking is to learn from traditional medical monitoring equipment. The data collected by users using wearable devices is interpreted by doctors, and the equipment is to be hospitals and medical research institutions that collect a large amount of patient data and professional diagnostic data. Zhang Dan, the founder of the Orange Family, described her business model to the reporter: the patient provides physical information, the doctor diagnoses according to the physical signs, and the patient prescribes the drug in the pharmacy or performs related treatment in the hospital. It is not difficult to see how to provide physical information and become the forefront of this medical industry chain. This means that wearable medical devices, if they can act as health management, will be easy to integrate with smart healthcare and mobile healthcare. However, the premise is that the health indicators of hardware monitoring can be directly used by doctors for clinical use, which puts a "medical level" requirement on the hardware technology of wearable devices. Fortunately, medical device companies and Internet technology companies with professional technical backgrounds are working hard to get through this industry chain, and technological changes and industry integration will soon come.
