Wearables are everywhere! Do you feel like every week a new device is announced that’s going to track a new vital parameter, sleep, or activity? It’s Apple, it’s Google, it’s Samsung, or one of the countless Kickstarter campaigns that promises the next cool gadget. We all love gadgets, but at some point you have to ask, now what? How are all these gadgets going to actually change how we live our lives? What meaningful impact can we as technologists create from this influx of excitement? In this session you’ll hear some of the exciting ways wearables are being leveraged in the healthcare space. We will talk about some of the first-hand challenges and lessons learned from moving these devices from expensive toy to impactful medical technology. And maybe you’ll walk away with some thoughts about what more your devices could do…

- 5. So Let’s Talk Wearables
- 6. A Definition Wearable computing facilitates a new form of human-- computer interaction comprising a small body-- worn computer (e.g. user--programmable device) that is always on and always ready and accessible. In this regard, the new computational framework differs from that of hand held devices, laptop computers and personal digital assistants (PDAs). The ``always ready'' capability leads to a new form of synergy between human and computer, characterized by long-term adaptation through constancy of user--interface.

Editor's Notes
- Start reading… bla bla bla – wearables are now pervasive enough that people know hwat they are. It’s fitbit, it’s jawbone, its fuelband… it’s also smartwatches, and smart clothing, and smart… you name it
- When I was growing up Slight tangent… but Marty mcfly’s self lacing shoes on kickstarter
- Polarizing device based on its role out and cultural perception… but think about the science and engineering that delivered it. For people who like gadgets – it’s a really cool time.
- There are a lot of flavors That do broad or specialized things… General activity tracking Two specific exercise … weight training device that tracks reps Watches that measure activity and provide communication Two consumer grade medical devices that monitor critical vitals at an affordable cost
- The majority of us have smart phones – they are always on and almost always in our pockets And most of them have the ability through sensors and apps to track things like activity or sleep. Dedicated sleep tracking device or your phone under your pillow…. The results aren’t that different…
- Design Functionality Etc… great example of a wearable that accomplishes a lot of the keys for a good device… battery life was a miss
- OK Google - Hellocopter
- That’s a big number for such a nascent industry… the iphone was introduced in 2007…. 7 years ago! And we are now at 10B for an industry that arguably didn’t exist 5 years ago
- Market numbers vary but they all agree on the growth pattern…
- Wearables are being developed for everything!
- Design – don’t fit right, they look goofy, “doesn’t match my outfit” Accuracy – clinic conference Missed expectations… hype vs. reality
- There are quite a few studies that show – seeing data about your health can impact behavior. But, if its not contextual or actionable – it may get lost. People are 40% more likely to quit smoking if they see the actual decline of their lung capacity and other health measures “regularly” --- 1/week. But just seeing steps?
- Tell you about my company and what we are doing with wearables and “portable” devices.
- How are these conditions treated today? Every 3 months patient goes to the doctor and blows in a device and runs some test. Then the doctor spends a bunch of time asking questions and trying to get an accurate snapshot of what’s happened so they can adjust the treatment. But why? There are devices on the market – at a relatively low cost that would allow for better collection of more valuable data daily or continuously! Every 3 months versus real-time all the time? Barriers?
- Implantables?
- Injectables?
